With no wind in sight and his crew disabled by malaria, the narrator discovers that the medicine necessary to save the sick men is missing and its absence has been deliberately concealed. Meanwhile, his increasingly frightened first mate is convinced that the malignant ghost of the previous captain has cursed them. Suspenseful, atmospheric, and deceptively simple, Conrad's tale of the sea reflects the complex themes of his most famous novels, \u003ci\u003eLord Jim \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness. \u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Shadow-Line: A Confession | Joseph Conrad | Paperback | 9780307386533 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1779166","offer_id":50763836981506,"sku":"1779166","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71JDtp3purL.jpg?v=1792066935","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/shadow-line-a-confession","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
