Synopsis

Conrad was a Polish-born English novelist. His success is even more amazing since he did not learn to speak English until he was in his 20's. Conrad's narrative style places him at the beginning of the Modernist period of literature. This novella published in 1917 depicts the development of a man's character after becoming the captain of a ship. The major themes in the book are nature of wisdom, and the value of experience and maturity. Conrad's excellent use of irony in telling this tale brings a depth to this sea story.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume contains Joseph Conrad’s 1916 short novel, "The Shadow-Line". It is a semi-autobiographical tale of a young man who takes up a captaincy in the Orient. This significantly fictionalised account of Conrad’s first command as a young sea captain constitutes one of his late masterpieces, and is highly recommended for fans and collectors of his work. Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924) was a Polish-born author. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
