Conrad was a Polish-born English novelist. His success is even more amazing since he did not learn to speak English until he was in his 20's. Conrad's narrative style places him at the beginning of the Modernist period of literature. This work of non-fiction describes Conrad's life of twenty years and his relationship with the sea. He talks of ships and their captains, storms, oceans and all aspects of a life at sea. This autobiography is a good beginning for an in depth study of Conrad's works and their relationship to his life in Poland and his love of the sea.
