The Secret Sharer draws on actual events and people that Conrad met or heard about during his many far-flung travels. In portraying men whose incredible journeys on land and at sea are also symbolic voyages into their own mysterious depths, these two masterful works give credence to Conrad's acclaim as a major psychological writer.

A short story from Conrad's [b:'Twixt Land and Sea 438080 ‘Twixt Land and Sea Joseph Conrad https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328250713s/438080.jpg 2423554] published as a Penguin 60s Classic.An amusing and well constructed short story about a sea captain, new to his vessel, who takes on board in the dead of night a man from a ship anchored nearby.Keeping the man's presence a secret from the crew leaves the captain looking eccentric and somewhat foolish.Not much more to say without spoiling the story. An enjoyable short read. 4 Stars.
