Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PERSONAL RECORD by Joseph Conrad Who is the man that wrote the famous "Heart of Darkness"? No one can tell you that better than Joseph Conrad himself. "A Personal Record" dwells deep into the time, places and people that shaped and developed him. Discover the merchant, the seaman and writer Joseph Conrad in this unusual autobiography. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in that language after settling in England. His most famous novel is ‘Heart of Darkness’ (1899), which was inspired by his experiences on the open sea.A Personal Record is writer Joseph Conrad's autobiography. The writing is lyrical and atmospheric and commonly believed to be somewhat embellished. It does, however, give great insight into his Polish childhood, his sailing adventures and his aspirations in the eyes of the British public. It also documents the process of writing Almayer's Folly. The preface to the work contains the much-quoted lines: "Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills. It rests notably, among others, on the idea of Fidelity." A PERSONAL RECORD by Joseph Conrad This book features introductions by Dr. Keith Carabine, Chairperson of the Joseph Conrad Society (U.K.). 'I have tried with an almost filial regard to render the vibration of life in the great world of waters, in the hearts of simple men who have traversed its solitudes, and also that something sentient which seems to dwell in ships - the creatures of their hands and the objects of their care' - Joseph Conrad on "The Mirror of the Sea". 'An imaginative and exact rendering of authentic memories may serve worthily that spirit of piety towards all things human which sanctions the conceptions of a writer of tales, and the emotions of a man reviewing his own experience' - "A Personal Record".These two autobiographical works differ greatly in scope and form. In "The Mirror" (1906) Conrad draws upon his career as a mariner in France and then in the British Merchant Service to consider and dramatise the relationships between men, ships and the sea in an era when his beloved sailing ships gave way to the age of steam. "A Personal Record" (1912) pivots on two crucial turning points in Conrad's amazing life: his decision as a sixteen year old to leave Poland for the 'call' of the sea, and his decision fifteen years later to begin his first novel, "Almayer's Folly", in English, his third language. "The Mirror" has been called 'the epic of the sailing ship' and 'The Bible of the Sea'. "A Personal Record" is a humorous, moving account of a young man's struggle, against all the odds, to create 'a coherent, justifiable personality both in its origin and its action'.
