À propos de cet audio

 Set against the backdrop of the South Pacific during the Napoleonic era, Within The Tides follows a self-important English philosopher and his stunningly aloof daughter as they embark on a voyage to clear the name of her wrongly accused fiancé. However, their journey takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a mysterious silk planter with ulterior motives for the beautiful yet dangerously naive daughter. Along the way, a patent medicine salesman teams up with an honest but struggling ship owner, leading to unforeseen complications. A young British naval officer faces a chilling experience involving a bed once occupied by an Archbishop in Spain, and a compassionate captain of a small Far East steamer sets out to reclaim silver dollars from trading stations, only to confront three ruthless rogues, one of whom has no hands and a different vision for the treasure. These four captivating tales, originally published in magazines, reveal Conrads storytelling prowess, even when he’s driven by the need to pay the bills.
