Sinossi

Born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857 in Poland, Joseph Conrad had a difficult childhood due to his family's involvement in Polish nationalism, which led to their persecution by the Russian authorities. Conrad started his career as a sailor and traveled extensively, which inspired his literary work. In 1895, he published his first novel "Almayer's Folly," which was followed by a string of successful works, including "Heart of Darkness," which was published in 1899. 
 
"Heart of Darkness" is considered one of Conrad's masterpieces and a seminal work in the field of postcolonial literature. The novel explores the darkness that lies within the human heart and the devastating effects of colonialism on the colonized and the colonizers. The novel has been adapted into several films, and its impact on literature and popular culture can still be seen today. 
 
"Secret Agent" is a novel by Joseph Conrad that was first published in 1907. The novel is set in London and follows the story of a spy named Verloc, who works for a foreign embassy. Verloc is tasked with carrying out a terrorist attack on Greenwich Observatory, but his plan goes awry, leading to a tragic and unexpected outcome. 
 
Conrad's works have been translated into many languages, and his influence on literature can be seen in the works of writers such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and Salman Rushdie. Conrad's contributions to English literature are widely recognized, and his works continue to be studied and appreciated for their depth, complexity, and insight into the human condition.
