About this book

Before he became a novelist, Joseph Conrad spent two decades as a working sailor, and in these autobiographical essays he looks back on that life with unusual tenderness. Rather than telling a single story, he gathers reflections on the craft of seamanship: the meaning of landfall and departure, the character of anchors and rigging, the personalities of the winds, and the ships that carried him. There are memories of storms survived and of the old sailing vessels already passing out of the world. It is a quiet, meditative book, closer to a prose poem than a memoir, and it reveals the sensibility behind his great sea fiction. First published in 1906, it endures as a classic of maritime writing.
