Known for his masterful prose and unique perspective, Conrads stories often portrayed the human spirits struggles against a seemingly indifferent universe. His tales, many set at sea, were inspired by his own seafaring experiences.

Ford, himself a significant figure in early 20th-century English literature, quotes extensively from Conrads works.
