To prevent contamination aboard the ship, James must stay in his cabin.But as minutes turn into hours, and days into weeks, the rest of the crew starts doubting whether James is ill at all. And even if he is, can he be allowed to stay in his room when a violent storm is brewing, and every hand is needed on deck?This book has been said to be Joseph Conrad’s best work of his early period.

Né Jósef Konrad Korzeniowski, Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) est un écrivain anglais d'origine polonaise. Dès son plus jeune âge, et sans avoir jamais vu la mer, il veut être marin ; il embarque à 17 ans comme mousse à Marseille, c'est le début d'une riche carrière d'officier de marine marchande. Cette expérience nourrit une œuvre abondante de romans, nouvelles et mémoires entreprise en 1895 avec La Folie Almayer . Les chefs-d'œuvre Le Nègre du Narcisse (1897), Au cœur des ténèbres (1899) – qui inspira Coppola pour Apocalypse Now –, Lord Jim (1900), Typhon (1903) et Le Frère-de-la Côte (1923) ont consacré Conrad comme un des plus grands écrivains de langue anglaise.
