Perhaps the most famous Polish person to settle in Britain at the end of the 19th century, having gained British citizenship in 1886, was the seafarer turned early modernist novelist, Józef Korzeniowski, better known by his pen name, Joseph Conrad. He was the highly influential author of such works as "Almayer's Folly", "The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'", "Heart of Darkness", "Lord Jim", "Nostromo", "The Secret Agent", "The Duel", "Under Western Eyes" and "Victory", many of which have been turned into films.
