| Publisher Description: To-Morrow was written in early 1902 by Joseph Conrad. There are two principal ironies in the tale - one real, and the other potential. The first, which is real, is that the apparently doting father Hagberd turns out to be a tyrant and a fraud, whose eagerly awaited son actually wants nothing to do with him. The second irony, which may only be realised outside the narrative time-frame, is that Harry borrows money from the hapless and moon-struck Bessie, but if Hagberd sticks to his word and disinherits his son, she will be the benefactor. Set in a desolate English port, Conrad's spare, savage turn-of-the-century story of lives haunted by the sea. One of Conrad's most powerful, gripping stories. |
