The Nigger of the Narcissus

This is the story of a voyage of a merchant sailing ship from Bombay to England, set in the very late 19th century. ¿It was a bad winter off the Cape that year.¿ From Wikepedia: ¿The novel is seen as an allegory about isolation and solidarity, the ship's company serving as a microcosm of a social group.¿ As to the title, one can only ask, ¿What WERE you thinking?¿ (Introduction by Tom Crawford)
