Summary
Summary
An unsettling tale of plague, drift, and terror, The Shadow-Line documents a young seaman’s coming of age after he is recruited to captain a ship for the first time.
Bad luck and disease haunt the inexperienced hero and his crew, and the evil legacy of the previous captain overshadows them with a feeling of supernatural menace. Against all odds, the young captain must get his crew through the Gulf of Siam to safety in Singapore, before they succumb to malaria and the curse of his mad predecessor
Written in 1915 and based on Conrad’s own experiences twenty-seven years earlier, The Shadow-Line is a gripping take on the lines between youth and maturity, sanity and madness.

Joseph Conrad (Józef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski) (1857–1924) was born in Ukraine. Raised by an uncle after the death of his parents, he educated himself by reading widely in Polish and French. At age twenty-one he began a long career sailing the seas on French merchant vessels, after which he went to London and began writing, using the romance and adventure of his own life for his incomparable sea novels.
