The Shadow Line

Upper Intermediate B2 | 1800 Headwords | Classic

Joseph Conrad. Retold and Activities by Pauline Russo.

This novel shows the indecision and unpredictable side of youth compared to the wisdom of maturity.
Set in Asia in Victorian times, it is the story of a young sailor who is unsure of what he wants to do with his life. He is offered the job of captain on a sailing ship, a great responsibility, which takes him on a journey full of problems and life-or-death decisions. He crosses the “shadow line”, the boundary between youth and maturity, and realises that it is not age that makes us more mature, but life experiences.
