Publisher's Summary

The Shadow Line is a short novel by Joseph Conrad and was published in 1917. It tells the story of a young man whose dream to be a captain of his ship comes true accidentally. He should command a boat from Bangkok to Singapore filled with sick passengers. His crew gets infected by malaria, and he finds out the medicine necessary to save them is missing deliberately after a couple of days wandering in the sea with no wind in sight. His mate convinces him that the ghost of the previous captain, who before his death turned insane and wanted to take the ship down along himself and the crew, has cursed them. 

Joseph Conrad tells this adventurous and mysterious story to explore the passage to manhood. The narrator of the book says there is a ''shadow line'' that must be crossed from youth to adulthood. 

This version of the book is translated by Soheil Sommi to Persian (Farsi) and narrated by Peyman Gharib Panah. The Persian version of The Shadow Line's audiobook is published by Maktub worldwide.

Please note: This audiobook is in Persian.
