Sobre IBD

A young sailor is unexpectedly made captain of a ship with a mysterious past and sails out confidently, only to face a crisis beyond anything he could have imagined. As he struggles to sail the vessel past a ghostly 'shadow-line' at sea, the tragic figure of the previous captain looms in the crew’s minds and a deadly illness rips through the ship. One of Conrad’s later works, The Shadow-Line is a suspenseful nautical tale that hauntingly captures the painful transition from youth to maturity and the terrifying reality of life at sea.
