# Joseph Conrad bibliography

The works of Joseph Conrad encompass novels, short stories, nonfiction, and memoirs. Although he was born in Ukraine and spoke Polish and French fluently from childhood, he wrote in English, which he did not learn until his twenties. Philosopher Wincenty Lutosławski recalled Conrad explaining this, saying "I value our beautiful Polish literature too much to bring into it my clumsy efforts. But for the English my gifts are sufficient and secure my daily bread."
