Description:The Nigger of the "Narcissus" (1897) is widely regarded as the greatest novel of the sea in English.Joseph Conrad's account of the voyage of a sailing-ship from Bombay harbour to the Port of London combines uniquely the skills of the master mariner with the power of the master novelist. It evokes in intense and exact detail what it felt like to negotiate the great wind belts of two oceans. But it is also Conrad's first major exploration of the psychology of service - of the pressure on a group of seamen brought to the test...of the moral problems of conduct by their encounter with elemental nature and with the secret terror and evasions of two of their comrades.This edition includes an introduction on Conrad's conception of the sea in the context of the late nineteenth-century, and a fresh interpretation of the famous Preface defining his artistic aims. It also contains a specially compiled glossary of nautical terms.Cover Illustration: "Birkdale" Barque on Waist Looking Forward by John EverettWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
