Content description
Spanish translation of Joseph Conrad's The Nigger of the 'Narcissus', in the version by Ricardo Baeza for Montaner y Simón. It recounts the voyage of the sailing ship Narcissus from Bombay to London and the figure of the dying seaman James Wait, whose presence unsettles the crew's morale; one of Conrad's essential sea tales. The volume opens with a preliminary note on the genesis of the work.
