The heart of darkness!

Hey everybody! I'm doing the author part of my book called The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. He was born in the Ukraine in 1857 and English was his third language. His parents died when he was a child. His uncle Tadeusz Bobrowski is the one who watched over him for the next 25 years. Later Conrad travelled to Marseilles where he served in French merchant vessels before joining a British ship in 1878. He got his British certificate in 1886. Eight years later he devote himself into writing and publishing his first novel Almayer's Folly. The following year he married Jessie George and settled in Kent. There he published many books. He was one of the most greatest writers of friction in English. He died in 1924.
