Interestingly, Conrad’s native language was Polish. His writing was influenced by high level of literacy in Polish followed by reaching the same level in English. It’s style is complex but fascinating for that reason.
It’s also the style of the times, a transition from 19th century to 20th. Very detailed description.
He’s a distant ancestor so I took a great interest in him.
