To any reader of the books of Joseph Conrad it must be at once plain that his immediate experiences and impressions of life have gone very directly to the making of his art.

Joseph Conrad (Teodor Josef Konrad Karzeniowski) was born on 6th December 1857, and his birthplace was the Ukraine in the south of Poland.

The boy lived with his mother and father there until his mother died, when he was sent back to the Ukraine. In 1870 his father died.
