Joseph Conrad born  Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski was a Polish writer who would later settle in England and write such great books as Nostromo and Heart of Darkness.

For much of  Conrad’s life he made his living as a merchant seaman.

Part of the story line for the movie Apocalypse Now was taken from the book Heart of Darkness.
