Joseph Conrad, a Polish-born novelist, is celebrated for his significant contributions to English literature despite learning the language later in life. His mastery of prose and unique narrative style, characterized by anti-heroic characters, places him as a precursor to modernist literature. His works, including notable titles like Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, showcase a blend of romanticism and modernist themes, influencing prominent writers such as Ernest Hemingway and D. H. Lawrence. Conrad's legacy continues to impact literary traditions.
