About this listen

The Nigger of the Narcissus: A Tale of the Forecastle (1897; also subtitled A Tale of the Sea and published in the US as The Children of the Sea) is a novella by Joseph Conrad. Because of its quality compared to earlier works, some have described it as marking the start of Conrad's major, or middle, period; others have placed it as the best work of his early, or first, period. This is the first professionally recorded and produced audiobook version of this work.

A classic tale of the time.

Conrad learned English while he was at sea, much of his work is based on his experience as a seaman then Captain of the Otago.
The narrator is a perfect choice.
