Joseph Conrad: Master Mariner : The Novelist's Life at Sea, Based on a Previously Unpublished Study by Alan Villiers

Late in his life, deep water mariner, photographer, and author Alan Villiers (1903-1982) decided to write the story about the Polish mariner's 20 years at sea before he changed his name and became an English novelist. He died with the manuscript incomplete, but his son Peter has finished it at the request of many Conrad fans. Artist Mark Myers, who sailed with Alan, provides paintings of the ships Conrad was on.
