The Shadow-Line is an autobiographical-style coming-of-age novel in which Joseph Conrad recounts a young sailor's first experience as captain of a merchant ship. After taking command of a sailing vessel, the protagonist faces a voyage marked by doldrums, a crew decimated by malaria, and the anxiety of a possible curse—elements that force him to mature and confront the darker facets of life at sea. Originally published in 1917, this work remains a fundamental reference in Conrad's bibliography, exploring the transition from the carefree nature of youth to the conscious period of adulthood.
