The Children of the Sea

As the trading ship Narcissus sails toward London, tensions rise when a sick West Indian sailor is confined to his cabin to prevent contamination, but doubts about his illness soon emerge among the crew. With a fierce storm approaching and every crew member needed on deck, the story explores themes of suspicion, trust, and survival. Recognized as Joseph Conrad’s early masterwork, the novel offers a compelling look at human nature and moral dilemmas at sea.
