Quotes by Joseph Conrad

He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties and then always with a marked Polish accent. He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical or seaboard setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honor.
