Joseph Conrad itu apa sih?

Joseph Conrad (nama lahir Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski; 3 Desember 1857 – 3 Agustus 1924) adalah seorang penulis Polandia-Britania yang diangkat sebagai salah satu novelis terbesar yang menulis dalam bahasa Inggris. Ia diberi kewarganegaraan Britania pada 1886 namun selalu menyatakan dirinya sendiri sebagai orang Polandia.

Joseph Conrad dianggap sebagai seorang modernis awal, meskipun karya-karyanya mesih berisi unsur-unsur realisme abad kesembilan belas. Gaya naratifnya dan karakter anti-heroiknya menginspirasi beberapa pengarang, termasuk T. S. Eliot, William Faulkner, Graham Greene, dan yang paling terkini Salman Rushdie. Beberapa film diadaptasi dari, atau terinspirasi oleh, karya-karya Conrad.
