About this audiobook
A classic tale from the inkwell of Joseph Conrad, the Secret Sharer is a short story set at sea. The narrator, a newly made Captain of his vessel, rescues a man he finds clinging to his ships rope-ladder. That man was once Chief Mate of a nearby ship, the Sephora, and is accused of murder during rough seas. What follows is a short but well formed tale about isolation, duality, and the struggle between the rational and irrational.
Narrated by Michael Ward.
Joseph Conrad
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-British writer, regarded as one of the greatest novelists in the English language. Though he was not fluent in English until the age of twenty, Conrad mastered the language and was known for his exceptional command of stylistic prose. Inspiring a reoccurring nautical setting, Conrad’s literary work was heavily influenced by his experience as a ship’s apprentice. Conrad’s style and practice of creating anti-heroic protagonists is admired and often imitated by other authors and artists, immortalizing his innovation and genius.
