  The Mirror of the Sea is a collection of autobiographical essays by Joseph Conrad, published in 1906. It is a personal meditation on his experiences and impressions from his 17 years at sea, told through a series of short stories and musings. 
  Conrad expresses his deep love and fascination for the sea, describing it as a "great passion" that "went on unreasoning and invincible, surviving the test of disillusion, defying the disenchantment that lurks in every day of a strenuous life." He writes vividly about the camaraderie between sailors, the beauty and power of the sea, and the life-changing experiences he had during his maritime career.
