The Shadow-Line: A Confession (Vintage Classics)
Joseph Conrad

Vintage, 2007

The masterpiece of Joseph Conrad’s later years, the autobiographical short novel The Shadow-Line depicts a young man at a crossroads in his life, facing a desperate crisis that marks the “shadow-line” between youth and maturity. This brief but intense story is a dramatically fictionalized account of Conrad’s first ...

The Shadow-Line: A Confession (Oxford World's Classics)

Joseph Conrad

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

A Lesser Known Classic
One of Conrad's best novels, less profound than Heart of Darkness, certainly, but more economically written and featuring a narrator that more readers will identify with. The Shadow Line is a nice sequel of sorts to Conrad's great story "Youth." In that, he showed ...

Shadowline

Glen Cook, 1983

Shadowline: The Art of Iain McCaig
Iain McCaig

Insight Editions, 2008

"What is Shadowline ? It is the place where things meet: light and shadows, hope and despair, good and evil. It is, to me, the most interesting place to hunt for stories." So begins this stunningly realized and beautifully rendered new work from master storyteller and artist Iain McCaig. McCaig is best known for his work as a principal designer ...
