A Personal Record is writer Joseph Conrad's autobiography. The writing is lyrical and atmospheric and commonly believed to be somewhat embellished. It does, however, give great insight into his Polish childhood, his sailing adventures and his aspirations in the eyes of the British public. It also documents the process of writing Almayer's Folly. The preface to the work contains the much-quoted lines:"Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills. It rests notably, among others, on the idea of Fidelity."

Translation of: A personal record.

"A los cincuenta y cinco años, Joseph Conrad recibió de su amigo y también novelista Ford Madox Ford la propuesta de escribir sus memorias para la English Review. El resultado fue un texto breve, estructurado sin orden cronológico, con una idea muy particular del género autobiográfico...Crónica personal es una hermosa, templada colección de recuerdos elaborada con la complejidad y el el elevado criterio del arte novelístico conradiano, y dedicada especialmente a los acontencimientos e impresiones que se produjeron en el umbral de lo que él llamó su <
