Contains the author's preface, which was omitted in earlier editions, though it was "printed as an afterword at the end of the last instalment of the tale" in the New review, December, 1897.
Description
A dying sailor boards the Narcissus and acts as a memento mori upon his shipmates, eliciting pity and selfless compassion as well as fear, resentment, and a profound hatred. The powerful narrative technique captures every nuance of atmospheric tension for a compelling study of men's characters under conditions of extreme danger and stress.
