No one can tell you that better than Joseph Conrad himself. \"A Personal Record\" dwells deep into the time, places and people that shaped and developed him. Discover the merchant, the seaman and writer Joseph Conrad in this unusual autobiography. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in that language after settling in England. His most famous novel is ‘Heart of Darkness’ (1899), which was inspired by his experiences on the open sea.A Personal Record is writer Joseph Conrads autobiography. The writing is lyrical and atmospheric and commonly believed to be somewhat embellished. It does, however, give great insight into his Polish childhood, his sailing adventures and his aspirations in the eyes of the British public. It also documents the process of writing Almayers Folly. The preface to the work contains the much-quoted lines: \"Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills. It rests notably, among others, on the idea of Fidelity.\"","brand":"DD Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54568876572951,"sku":"9789372306347","price":352.8,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/3533639.webp?v=1785406885","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/a-personal-record-1","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
