JOSEPH CONRAD

I'm suppose to post a blog about the author. In my last blog i just posted up some basic information. Here is some other things i found out about Joseph Conrad. In 1889, he began his first novel, Almayer’s Folly, and began actively searching for a way to fulfill his boyhood dream of traveling to the Congo. He took command of a steamship in the Belgian Congo in 1890. His experiences in the Congo came to provide the outline for Heart of Darkness. Almayer’s Folly was published in 1894. He then wrote several other books, including one about Marlow called "Youth." A Narrative before beginning Heart of Darkness in 1898. He wrote most of his other major works including Lord Jim, which also features Marlow, Nostromo, and The Secret Agent, as well as several collaborations with Ford Madox Ford during the following two decades. I will tell you more about his books next time!
