About this ebook
'Twixt Land and Sea (1912) contains three long stories written for magazines in the 1909 11 period. 'The Secret Sharer' is one of the great tales in the English language. All three tales explore a young captain under stress. Although in this period of renewed personal and financial turmoil Conrad's imagination turns nostalgically to life at sea, the sea is no longer the simplified world of'Typhoon' or 'The End of the Tether', where moral distinctions are clear. In these 1909- 11 tales, a young captain is faced with circumstances and emotional traumas for which neither the maritime code nor his experience has prepared him.
About the author
Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski); 3 December 1857 – 3 August 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 came to be regarded a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. Conrad wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe.
