  <about><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;Joseph Conrad&lt;/b&gt; (born &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; was a Polish-born English novelist. He is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, which is even more notable because he did not learn to speak English well until he was in his 20s (albeit always with a Polish accent).
