In the intervening years he lost both parents, becoming an orphan at 11, being thereafter raised by an uncle, who let the boy go to Marseille at age 16, where he began to work on merchant ships - which at times included stints of gun running and the intrigue of political conspiracy. At age 36 his life turned from one of ships to one of literary pursuit.

Heart of darkness (Special Edition)
ISBN: 9781544277332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Polish-born writer Joseph Conrad.

Typhoon
ISBN: 9781512064186 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The main characteristic of this volume consists in this, that all the stories composing it belong not only to the same period but have been written one after another in the order in which they appear in the book. The period is that which follows on my connection with Blackwood's Magazine. I had just finished writing "The End of the Tether" and was casting about for some subject which could be developed in a shorter form than the tales in the volume of "Youth" when the instance of a steamship full of returning coolies from Singapore to some port in northern China occurred to my recollection.
