Pulzující hudba Ivana Achera tenhle dojem jen umocňuje." Petr Gojda, režisér Hlavní hrdina, námořník Charles Marlow líčí svou cestu do Afriky ve službách jisté obchodní Společnosti.

Joseph Conrad ve svém románu nastoluje stale aktuální otázky rasismu, soucitu, solidarity a smyslu lidského života vůbec.Černoch z lodi Narcissus, Námořní příběh patří mezi nejpodařenější Conradovy rané práce. Současně jde o přelom v jeho tvorbě, jelikož právě touto knihou začíná jeho zralé období. Předmluva ke knize, kterou Conrad sám napsal, je pak považována za manifest literárního impresionismu a řadí se k jeho nejvýznamnějším nebeletristickým textům.Titulní postava knihy, západoindický černý námořník James Wait, se plaví na obchodní lodi z Bombaje do Londýna. Po cestě onemocní tuberkulózou. Jeho osud vzbuzuje v některých námořnících soucit, jiní k němu zůstávájí lhostejní. Pět námořníků ho za bouře s nasazením života zachrání z kajuty, zatímco kapitán Alistoun a veterán Singleton si dál hledí svého.V Čechách už vyšlo téměř kompletní Conradovo dílo. Černoch z lodi Narcissus. Námořní příběh, je snad posledním Conradovým větším textem, který zatím nebyl do češtiny přeložen.
