'Twixt Land And Sea

'Twixt Land and Sea

by Joseph Conrad

''Twixt Land and Sea' by Joseph Conrad is a collection of three gripping and suspenseful tales that center around sea captains navigating both the perils of the open water and the complexities of human nature. In 'A Smile of Fortune,' a naive young captain's moral compass is tested by a cunning ship chandler in Mauritius. 'The Secret Sharer' presents a psychological thriller as a new captain discovers a stowaway on his ship. Finally, 'Freya of the Seven Isles' explores the themes of love, rivalry, and betrayal against the backdrop of an East Indies plantation.
