In Joseph Conrad: A Biography, acclaimed writer Jeffrey Meyers presents
the definitive account of the life of Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), author
of Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, Nostromo, and many other landmarks in
modern literature. Meyers' biography, published for the first time in
paperback by Cooper Square Press, is the first biography of the author
in many years. Joseph Conrad brings to light new information about
Conrad's life and its impact on his fiction: new models emerge for his
characters, including Heart of Darkness' Kurtz, and Meyers also examines
in great detail Conrad's relationship with the wild and beautiful
American journalist Jane Anderson.
