Complete Works of Joseph Conrad. Novels, Short stories, Essays. Illustrated (ePub)

Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew on the national experiences of his native Poland-during nearly all his life, parceled out among three occupying empires-and on his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world-including imperialism and colonialism-and that profoundly explore the human psyche.
Conrad is considered a literary impressionist by some and an early modernist by others, though his works also contain elements of 19th-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced numerous authors. Many dramatic films have been adapted from and inspired by his works. Numerous writers and critics have commented that his fictional works, written largely in the first two decades of the 20th century, seem to have anticipated later world events.
