La línea de sombra

Synopsis of La línea de sombra

«La línea de sombra» is the novel by Joseph Conrad published by Bruguera in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).

A young captain takes on his first command and faces a chain of crises: dead calm, a sick crew, and the suspicion that the ship is haunted by the previous captain. The maritime anecdote becomes an allegory of the transition from youth to maturity and of responsibility, drawing on Conrad's experiences as a captain in 1888.

Number 17 of the Club Bruguera Collection, with a translation by Ricardo Baeza. The edition is from 1982.

For readers of adventure classics and sea literature, especially those who appreciate psychological narrative and the journey toward maturity.
