Conrad joined the French Merchant Marine at 16, sailing the world's commercial routes for twenty years as mate and commander. The Mirror of the Sea is his autobiographical tribute 'to the imperishable sea, to the ships that are no more, and to the simple men who have had their day' - everything that shaped his character and artistic convictions. This volume also includes 'A Personal Record', a memoir of Conrad's Polish upbringing, his first impulse to go to sea and his decision to become a writer.
