Book excerpt: 'Twixt Land & Sea by Joseph Conrad is a wonderfully immersive collection of adventure tales about the lives of daring travelers at sea. Excerpt: "Ever since the sun rose I had been looking ahead. The ship glided gently in smooth water. After sixty days' passage I was anxious to make my landfall, on a fertile and beautiful island of the tropics. The more enthusiastic of its inhabitants delight in describing it as the "Pearl of the Ocean." Well, let us call it the "Pearl." It's a good name. A pearl distilling much sweetness upon the world. This is only a way of telling you that first-rate sugar cane is grown there."
