A very salty nautical tale of a captain’s, first, arduous command. I doubt a non-sailor would think much of it. I though, am one, so did enjoy that part to some extent. The narrator is an annoying ass and was hard to take, but softened as the tale proceeded. ( ) Los avatares de un inexperto capitán que se hace cargo de un barco por vez primera, teniendo que afrontar las numerosas dificultades y contratiempos que surgen durante la travesía por los mares del Sur, sirven al autor para trazar esta fábula de lucha y esperanza en la que se entrevera de forma inevitable la nostalgia que lleva aparejada la superación de toda etapa vital. For a novella this takes way to long to get underway, but once we're all aboard and firmly in the doldrums, as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean, wasting away in a malarial miasma under the curse of the malevolent ex-Captain who now resides deep in Davy Jones's locker, the pages turn fast. Conrad does what he does so well, write about internal change (in this case crossing the "shadow-line" between youth and adulthood). Here he crafts a great atmosphere of supernatural dread, especially in the nocturnal scenes and in the characters of the tenacious first mate Burns and the composed, resilient but scarily vulnerable steward, Ransome. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: The Shadow Line is a novella by Joseph Conrad. A young man becomes captain of a ship in the Orient, and his experiences bring him to the threshold of his development into maturity: the shadow line. The story contrasts the young man and his expectations with the wiser experience of his elders. The novella has been read as a comment on the first world war, because of its preoccupation with camaraderie in the face of prolonged hardship. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
