En marge des marées

by Joseph Conrad

"En marge des marées" by Joseph Conrad is a collection of three short fiction works published in 1912. Inspired by an unexpected visit from a former seafaring colleague in 1909, Conrad returned to writing short stories after years away from the form. The collection features tales set in the Malay Archipelago, drawing on Conrad's maritime experiences. These stories resonated with Conrad's former colleagues, who had become readers of his fiction, prompting him to dedicate the work to Captain C. M. Marris.
