A Set of Six

Meer over het boek

Regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature, Joseph Conrad's works often explore the trials of the human spirit against a backdrop of an indifferent universe. Despite not mastering English until his twenties, he became a master prose stylist, infusing his narratives with a unique non-English sensibility. Many of his stories and novels feature nautical settings, reflecting his deep connection to the sea and its challenges. Conrad's writing delves into profound themes of existential struggle and the complexities of human experience.
