Blurb: “For twenty years, Joseph Conrad was enthralled with sailing and the sea.

Like the heroes of his stories, Conrad answered the call to exotic places... endured the harsh isolation of a ship's officer... tested himself against winds and waves.

The three stories in this volume describe men like Conrad-men who are constantly searching for something they can't name.

  • Youth-out of the burning wreck of his sinking ship, 20-year-old Marlow salvages an unforgettable moment of glory.
  • The Secret Sharer-a young captain sees his own image reflected in the face of a murderer.
  • The Shadow-Line-a terrifying specter of disease threatens a seaman's first command.”
