Produktbeschreibung
Although not British in origin, the greatest of all writers of sea fiction is Joseph Conrad, the only writer to be represented by two stories: 'Initiation', which begins the volume, and 'The Secret Sharer', in which he charts one of the most extraordinary relationships between men at sea ever imagined and analyzed. In his introduction, Tony Tanner seeks to explore and establish the particular qualities that emerge when writing takes to the waters and we, as readers, are offered what Conrad called his 'paper-boats'. This wide-ranging collection of stories will prove absorbing and thoroughly entertaining reading for anyone with an interest in the sea and its literature.
In this collection of 27 fascinating tales about life at sea and the adventures to be had there, masters of the art, including Jack London, C.S. Forester, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, and Joseph Conrad, tell of men on ships, grappling with themselves, their fellow sailors, and the trials of the sea.
