The Shadow Line: A Confession -- Joseph Conrad

This masterly character study of human transformation, written by Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) during the First World War, chronicles a youth's passage into manhood upon becoming the commander of his first ship. In this poignant tale of maturation, Conrad explores the initiation of this transitional occurrence and delivers a portrait of physical and psychic exile; sensory disorientation; and the final crossover toward a new identity. With realism born of firsthand knowledge of the seafaring life, Conrad delivers an intense evocation of his own first command aboard the ship <i>Otago</i>, which he took on when the previous captain died en route to Bangkok.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Joseph Conrad<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dover Publications<br><b>Published:</b> 11/16/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 112<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.20lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.99h x 5.06w x 0.29d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780486850726<p></p>
