This Halcyon Classics ebook is Joseph Conrad's classic modernist novel THE NIGGER OF THE NARCISSUS.
The story revolves around James Wait, a West Indian sailor of African descent aboard the 'Narcissus' sailing from Bombay to London. Wait falls seriously ill during the voyage, and his plight arouses the humanitarian sympathies of many of the crew, some of whom rescue him during a storm, placing their own lives and the ship at risk. However, others of the crew are indifferent or hostile to Wait, concerned primarily with their duties and lives.
