The stories in this Norton Critical Edition maintain the connection and sequencing that Joseph Conrad saw among them. They are accompanied by explanatory annotations, a note on the texts and a preface. Also included are documents related to Conrad’s sources for the stories. To help readers navigate, the editor includes a glossary of nautical terms as well as diagrams of the kinds of ships that appear in the stories.
