The Mirror of the Sea by Joseph Conrad is a memoir-like work that explores the life of a seaman and his relationship with the sea. The book is set during the Golden Age of Sail, when sailing ships were giving way to the age of steam. The book is a personal reflection on Conrad's seafaring career, including his travels, shipwrecks, and rise in rank from apprentice to captain. It also explores the relationship between sailors and the sea, and the technicalities and emotions associated with nautical terms like "Landfall" and "Departure". This book is very rare in untrimmed state.
