The Shadow Line: A Confession by Joseph Conrad
"The Shadow Line: A Confession" by Joseph Conrad is a novella written in 1915. A young, unnamed man assumes his first command as ship captain in the Orient, crossing the threshold from youth to maturity. Told through a dual-narrative structure that contrasts the older narrator's wisdom with his younger self's inexperience, the story follows the new captain as he faces mysterious challenges aboard his vessel. Conrad explores themes of responsibility, camaraderie, and
the journey toward wisdom through this introspective tale of self-discovery at sea. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
