Conrad, Joseph (Joseph Conrad Korzeniowski). [Mirror of the sea.] †$1.50. Harper.
One who has long known and loved her, and who has always understood, writes here of the sea and her moods, of her anger when the winds lash her, of the fear of her, the charm of her, of the men in the good ships that sail her and sometimes go down in her, of their ways, their rugged courage, and the various phases of the lives they lead. There are bits of sentiment, scraps of romance, flashes of humor, many real dramatic scenes and much hard fact, and thru it all the sound of the sea.
“But the book is more than a series of fine pictures; it is a sensitive appreciation of the whole art of seamanship, an imaginative reading of the varying moods of the sea.”
