He was regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and then always with a marked Polish accent). He wrote stories and novels, predominantly with a nautical or seaboard setting, that depict trials of the human spirit by the demands of duty and honor. According to Anton Zilwicki, a majority among officers of the Royal Manticoran Navy considered him the greatest author of all time, while a vocal minority prefered Patrick O'Brian. (HHA3.3: FtH)

- There is something of an ongoing tradition in the Alien franchise whereby spacecraft in the films and video games are often named after characters or elements taken from Conrad novels and short stories. The tradition was started by Alien director Ridley Scott (whose first major film, The Duellists, was an adaptation of Conrad's short story The Duel) when he named the ship in Alien the Nostromo as a reference to Conrad's novel of the same name.
- Joseph Conrad was a famous author. While in Los Angeles for the assassination of Martin Webb, Zapata went by the alias "Charles Ossipon," taken from a character in one of Conrad's novels. (Chaos Theory)
- Joseph Conrad (or Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski) was a Polish-born English novelist. As a young man, he became a mariner, and many of his journeys at sea became material for his later novels and short stories. In 1886, he became a British citizen, and continued as a seaman until 1894, when he started a literary career, which continued until his death in 1924. In 1889, he spent some time as a steamboat captain in the Congo, which was later used as the setting for Heart of Darkness. His other works include Lord Jim, and Nostromo and he is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists.

His other works include Lord Jim, and Nostromo and he is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists. When beginning their search for a black pearl called the Heart of Darkness in 1943, George McHale and Indiana Jones mentioned its name to Marie Arnoux, who recognized the name as the title of Conrad's work, having read it in college. She showed off her familiarity of Conrad to them by citing his full Polish name, and later warned them that the Island of Death was as dangerous as Conrad's Congo.
