About the author

Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad was one of the greatest novelists in the English language, who wrote adventure fiction suffused with existential darkness and psychological insight. Heart of Darkness and The Secret Agent, which features anarchist terrorism, are foundational texts in both literary fiction and the thriller genre. His sea-faring adventures shaped the modern adventure novel.
