About this listen
It is the qualities, both individual and collective, needed to confront the ship's crisis that symbolize the qualities needed by humanity, not only to face evil and destruction but also to come to terms with life.
©1923 Joseph Conrad (P)2000 Blackstone AudiobooksConrad

Conrad was a writer who worked at sea,.
This story is typical of how a crew is hired at short notice.
I couldn't get the supposed supernatural part, which is in the introduction. Maybe it's part of sailship lore.
This is a tragic sea story based on the author's experiences.
The narrator, reading a book written in 1917, does a good job.
My grandfather, who brought me up, was from that era, the language, Conrad, is spot on.
A Conrad gem

Above it names Fred Williams as narrator in the recording it names William Sutherland, who ever it is makes the aged Conrad recalling his first youthful and eventful ship’s command sound like a bumbling old fool. Excruciating! Let’s have new one please.
Great novel let down by the narration
