To mark Joseph Conrad’s 160th birthday, 14 authors and critics from Britain, Poland and elsewhere have come together to celebrate his legacy with new pieces of fiction and non-fiction. Conrad felt that the writer’s task was to offer ‘that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.’ In an age of increasing isolationism, these celebrations remind you of the value of such glimpses.
Commissioned as part of the Joseph Conrad Year 2017, the book has been published with the support from the Polish Cultural Institute, the Polish Book Institute, and the British Council.
