“ההיסטוריה חוזרת, אך קולה המיוחד של אמנות שמתה איננו שב. הוא חולף ועובר מן העולם, כמו שירתה של הציפור הלבנה שנכחדה.”

Polish-British novelist and short story writer

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British novelist and short story writer. He became one of the major figures in English-language fiction, even though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties. He is remembered for the force and style of his prose, and for bringing a non-English perspective into English literature. His work helped shape modern literary fiction through its precision, atmosphere, and distinctive narrative voice.
