Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad is widely considered one of the greatest novelists of the English language. Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew, among other things, on his native Poland's national experiences and on his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world—including imperialism and colonialism—and that profoundly explore the human psyche. Conrad's best known novels and short stories include Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), and The Arrow of Gold (1919).
