Octavo, 20 volumes, finely bound in three quarters morocco, gilt titles and tooling to the spine, raised bands, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt. One of 780 copies signed by Conrad. In near fine condition. A nice set. Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He joined the British merchant marine in 1878, and was granted British nationality in 1886. Though he did not speak English fluently until he was in his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works still contain elements of 19th-century realism. "His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors, including T. S. Eliot, William Faulkner, Graham Greene, and Salman Rushdie" (John Stape, The Many Lives of Joseph Conrad). Seller Inventory # 10004
