Conrad did not learn to speak English well until he was in his twenties and always had a Polish accent. Conrad's [[prose]] style is considered as one of the best of all English novelists. He also is seen as important for paving the way to [[modernist literature]]. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many modern writers and inspired such films as ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' (after Conrad's ''[[Heart of Darkness]]''). Conrad lived in the time of the [[British Empire]] and worked in the [[Merchant Navy]]. == Novels and novellas == [[File:Joseph Conrad, Gdynia ubt.jpeg|thumb|200px|[[Anchor]]-shaped Conrad monument, [[Gdynia]], on [[Poland]]'s [[Baltic Sea]] coast.]] *1895 - ''[[Almayer's Folly]]'' *1896 - ''[[An Outcast of the Islands]]'' *1897 - ''[[The Nigger of the 'Narcissus']]'' *1899 - ''[[Heart of Darkness]]'' *1900 - ''[[Lord Jim]]'' *1901 - ''[[The Inheritors]]'' (with [[Ford Madox Ford]]) *1902 - ''[[Typhoon (novel)|Typhoon]]'' (begun 1899) *1903 - ''[[Romance (novel)|Romance]]'' (with [[Ford Madox Ford]]) *1904 - ''[[Nostromo]]'' *1907 - ''[[The Secret Agent]]'' *1909 - ''[[The Secret Sharer]]'' (written December 1909; published in ''[[Harper's Magazine|Harper's]]'' in 1910 and collected in ''Twixt Land and Sea'' 1912) *1911 - ''[[Under Western Eyes]]'' *1912 - ''[[Freya of the Seven Isles]]'' *1913 - ''[[Chance (novel)|Chance]]'' *1915 - ''[[Victory (novel)|Victory]
