The Titanic

Joseph Conrad was a sailor before he was a writer. The sea ran through his work and gave him character. When on April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank in just m two hours, the seaman and great moralist that was Conrad could not remain oblivious to the drama and reflected his vision of the matter in the two texts that are collected here and that question the work of las commissions of inquiry whose work was the basis for a final sentence suspiciously favorable to the shipowners.
