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.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Joseph Conrad (born J�zef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, 1857-�1924) was a Polish-�British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-�English sensibility into English literature. Conrad wrote stories and novels that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe. Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works contain elements of 19th-�century realism. His narrative style and anti-�heroic characters have influenced numerous authors, and many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, his works.
