'Twixt Land And Sea
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A cornerstone of maritime fiction, 'Twixt Land and Sea presents three of Joseph Conrad's finest short stories — A Smile of Fortune, The Secret Sharer, and Freya of the Seven Isles — each set against the brooding, atmospheric backdrop of the open sea. Conrad chronicles the lives of seafarers caught between the worlds of land and ocean, where moral ambiguity, isolation, and the weight of human conscience collide with the unpredictable forces of nature. Written with Conrad's signature psychological intensity and lyrical prose, the collection uncovers the hidden depths of character that emerge only when men are stripped of society's comforts and left to face themselves. Published originally in 1912, this collection stands as a testament to Conrad's unrivalled mastery of the nautical tale and his profound understanding of the human condition.
