Frederick R. Karl chronicles Conrad's remarkable triple existence — as Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, the Polish exile; as a master mariner who sailed the world's great seas; and as the visionary author of Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, and Nostromo. Karl draws on a vast archive of letters, manuscripts, and historical records to illuminate the psychological and cultural forces that shaped Conrad's singular imagination, arguing convincingly that no aspect of Conrad's life can be separated from his art. Authoritative, sweeping, and deeply humane, this biography stands as the definitive account of a writer whose work continues to resonate across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956351250651,"sku":"2026100005973-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/55dab7ee-bf3f-4dc1-9b7a-070109f5a8c6.png?v=1783500057","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005973-secondhand-joseph-conrad-the-three-lives","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
