First Edition "Considering that Joseph Conrad's life was, for a writer, unusually varied and colorful, it is remarkable that there are only three earlier biographies, the most recent published nearly two decades ago. Interest in Conrad's work is at a new high, . . . now clearly seen not only as a superb romancer but also as one of the great twentieth-century explorers of moral dilemmas, who raises in his fiction the enduring questions of human existence" [from the dust jacket].
