The biography reveals Joseph Conrad as a constantly evolving figure, born in the Ukraine in 1857 and shaped by his experiences as a sailor in diverse locales like the Far East and Africa. Settling in England, he embarked on a challenging journey as a novelist, writing in his third language. John Stape offers profound insights into Conrad's sense of otherness and his pivotal role in modernist literature, illuminating the complexities of a writer who is celebrated as one of the greatest of his era.
