"For MIRROR OF THE SEA we would make bold to predict a very long life. We see it being discovered and re-discovered as the years roll on." (The Times, London)The Mirror of the Sea is a collection of autobiographical essays first published in various magazines Conrad early in his life earned his bread as a Master Mariner in sailing ships. In his Author's Note to this work, Conrad states "Beyond the line of the sea horizon the world for me did not exist....Within these pages I make a full confession not of my sins but of my emotions. It is the best tribute my piety can offer to the ultimate shapers of my character, convictions, and, in a sense, destiny-to the imperishable sea, to the ships that are no more, and to the simple men who have had their day."
