Exploring Joseph Conrad's life, this autobiographical work offers insights into his experiences in Russian Poland, sailing in Marseille, and the impact of his uncle Tadeusz Bobrowski. Although digressive and unreliable, it serves as a key contemporary source about Conrad, revealing how he wanted to be perceived by British readers. The narrative also touches on his writing journey, particularly with Almayer's Folly, and includes an 'Author's Note' reflecting on his friendship with British colonial official Hugh Clifford.
