Book Description
There is a reason why the sea is so often chosen for the setting of psychological thrillers - there is nowhere to escape to. Joseph Conrad returned to the ocean waves for 'The Shadow Line', which tells the story of a young captain trying to control and lead a ship for the first time - and the struggles that come with it! He is thrown into one crisis after another: provisions running low, his crew fighting malaria, and somebody hiding the medicine. Amid rumours of the previous captain's ghost haunting the ship, Conrad skillfully builds a claustrophobic, cloying atmosphere. Can the young captain hold his nerve and save the ship and the crew? This thrilling book is perfect for fans of 'Moby Dick' by Herman Melville and Ernest Hemingway's 'The Old Man and the Sea'. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in the language after settling in England. His most famous novel is ‘Heart of Darkness’ (1899), which was inspired by his experiences on the open sea. He also wrote the classic novels 'Lord Jim' and 'Nostromo'. Among countless film and TV adaptations of his work were 'Apocalypse Now', a Vietnam War movie based on 'Heart of Darkness', and 'The Secret Agent', starring Bob Hoskins and Patricia Arquette.

Book Description
The Shadow-Line is a short novel based at sea by Joseph Conrad; it is one of his later works, being written from February to December 1915. It was first published in 1916 as a serial in New York's Metropolitan Magazine (September-October) in the English Review (September 1916-March 1917) and published in book form in 1917 in the UK (March) and America (April). The novella depicts the development of a young man upon taking a captaincy in the Orient, with the shadow line of the title representing the threshold of this development.The novella is notable for its dual narrative structure. The full, subtitled title of the novel is The Shadow-Line, A Confession, which immediately alerts the reader to the retrospective nature of the novella. The ironic constructions following from the conflict between the 'young' protagonist (who is never named) and the 'old' drive much of the underlying points of the novella, namely the nature of wisdom, experience and maturity. Conrad also extensively uses irony by comparison in the work, with characters such as Captain Giles and the ship's 'factotum' Ransome used to emphasise strengths and weaknesses of the protagonist.
