Joseph Conrad
**Joseph Conrad** (1857–1924), de son vrai nom Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, est un écrivain polonais naturalisé britannique, considéré comme l'un des plus grands romanciers de langue anglaise. Né en Ukraine dans une famille de la noblesse polonaise engagée dans la lutte pour l'indépendance, il devient orphelin très jeune et se tourne vers la mer à 17 ans. Après vingt ans de carrière maritime, il se consacre à l'écriture et publie *Szaleństwo Almayera* en 1895, son premier roman, inspiré par ses voyages en Asie du Sud-Est. Son œuvre, marquée par des thèmes comme l'exil, la quête d'identité et les conflits moraux, explore souvent les tensions entre cultures et les limites de la condition humaine.
