The Secret Sharer

The Secret Sharer

Joseph Conrad

In Joseph Conrad's The Secret Sharer, a young captain lacks the courage and conviction to command his first ship successfully. He takes on board and hides a renegade, Leggatt, who is both physically and mentally powerful — and the captain's doppelganger (alter ego). Together, the two men make up a perfect commander. Joseph Conrad's The Secret Sharer is a profound examination of every person's dual nature and how each person must resolve this duality for the self to grow.
