Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1911, Within the Tides is a collection of four short stories by Joseph Conrad. These stories originate from a group of old sailors swapping tales, and are all centered on the sea even if none of them ever really make it out to sea. Three of the four stories are from the perspective of a rugged, individualistic man. The other, The Partner, shows what happens when a man is not a rugged individualist.
