Joseph Conrad 
The Mirror of the Sea (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

The Mirror of the Sea is Joseph Conrad’s true-life account of his seventeen-year odyssey at sea, told through a series of essays. Portraying the ocean as a metaphor against
which men could measure themselves, Conrad hints at the themes of his later fictional works.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born writer who became one of the greatest novelists in the English language. A precursor to modernist literature, he mined his experiences in the French and British navies to create tragic tales that simultaneously delve into worldwide issues and the individual soul.
