La Linea de las sombras (Spanish Edition)

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

La línea de sombra es una novela corta, de aventuras marinas como casi toda la obra de Conrad, aunque de ritmo tranquilo, sin exaltaciones ni episodios trepidantes. Es un relato autobiográfico, cargado de nostalgia, que el autor escribió en 1917, ya en su madurez física y también literaria. La línea de sombra representaría el pasaje de la adolescencia a la adultez de su joven protagonista, quien de pronto se encuentra capitán de un barco, con las responsabilidades que esto conlleva y lidiando con calmas chichas, epidemias y muchos otros obstáculos.

About the Author

Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
