The Nigger Of The Narcissus is a novel written by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1897. The story follows the journey of a group of sailors on board the British ship Narcissus, as they make their way from Bombay to London. The main character, James Wait, is a black sailor who is suffering from a serious illness. His condition becomes a source of tension and conflict among the crew, as they struggle to care for him while also maintaining their duties on the ship.The novel explores themes of race, class, and power, as the crew grapple with their own prejudices and fears. Conrad's writing is known for its vivid descriptions and complex characters, and The Nigger Of The Narcissus is no exception. The novel is a powerful commentary on the human condition, and the ways in which we are all connected, regardless of our differences.Meantime the Narcissus, with square yards, ran out of the fair monsoon. She drifted slowly, swinging round and round the compass, through a few days of baffling light airs. Under the patter of short warm showers, grumbling men whirled the heavy yards from side to sine; they caught hold of the soaked ropes with groans and sighs, while their officers, sulky and dripping with rain water, unceasingly ordered them about in wearied voices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
