The nigger of the "Narcissus" : A tale of the forecastle by Joseph Conrad
"The Nigger of the 'Narcissus': A Tale of the Forecastle" by Joseph Conrad is a novella published in 1897. Aboard the merchant ship Narcissus sailing from Bombay to London, a dying West Indian sailor named James Wait stirs both sympathy and suspicion among the crew. When a violent storm capsizes the ship and calm winds trap them at sea, tensions mount as some believe Wait himself is cursed. Conrad explores solidarity and
self-interest within this floating microcosm of society, examining how humanitarian feelings can both unite and divide men facing the sea's indifferent power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
