Nigger of the ‘Narcissus'
«'The monumental new Cambridge edition of The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' meticulously traces his emendations to the text in its progress from manuscript to magazine and volume publication and is packed with contextual information – not least, a detailed exploration of its reception. As the editor Allan H. Simmons points out, far from being the farewell to things nautical that Conrad intended, the book marked his arrival as the definitive voice in maritime storytelling.'
