About the book

"'Twixt Land & Sea: Tales" by Joseph Conrad is a collection of three short stories published in 1912. Inspired by an unexpected visit from a former seafaring colleague, Conrad returned to writing short fiction after years away from the form. The collection features tales set in the Malay Archipelago, drawing on Conrad's experiences as a young sailor. These stories were dedicated to the captain whose visit rekindled Conrad's connection to his maritime past and the colleagues who had become devoted readers of his work.
