Joseph Conrad - Grandes escritores BBC - Film & Arts

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. His stories and novels often depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe. Conrad died at his house in Kent, England, probably of a heart attack, and was interred at Canterbury Cemetery.
