Falk Amy Foster and Tomorrow by Joseph Conrad Fiction Classics

<p><strong>JOSEPH CONRAD (1857-1924) was one of the most remarkable figures in English literature. </strong>Born in Poland and originally named Josef Teodor Konrad Walecz Korzeniowski he went to sea at the age of seventeen and eventually joined the crew of an English vessel becoming a British citizen in the process. He retired from the sea in 1894 and took up the pen writing all his works in English a language he had only learned as an adult. Despite this he was a master stylist both lush and precise. His outsider's eye gave him special insights into the moral dangers of the great age of European empires. </p>
