From the masterful mind of Joseph Conrad comes the tale of Captain Whalley, a seafaring hero with an indestructible moral code in terms of honor and duty that has turned him into a legend. The captain has retired from nautical life and is compelled to sell his boat and rent out his property in order to be able to live peacefully for the last few years of his life?and provide his daughter with a decent inheritance. But his plan is threatened in one tragic instant, forcing him to betray either the strong moral values he is famous for or the one human being he loves most in the world.
