The Dawn Watch: Joseph Conrad in a Global World

The life and work of Joseph Conrad were shaped by migration, terrorism, revolution, nationalism, globalization and rapid technological development – forces that are still reshaping the world. Blending history, biography and travelogue, this book explores the novelistâ€s childhood and youth in Russian-occupied Poland, his experiences as a sea-captain, and his interest in global politics, to demonstrate why his books remain as relevant today as they were a century ago.
