| Description: |
The Captain is an enigma and someone who has exerted an extraordinary influence on Jim's life. In his early twenties, Jim attempts to put together the Captain's bizarre story. This is a new novel from the author of such classics as, "The Power and the Glory" and "Our Man in Havana". |
| Synopsis: |
Victor Baxter is a young boy when a secretive stranger known simply as "the Captain" takes him from his boarding school to live in London. Victor becomes the surrogate son and companion of a woman named Liza, who renames him "Jim" and depends on him for any news about the world outside their door. Raised in these odd yet touching circumstances, Jim is never quite sure of Liza's relationship to the Captain, who is often away on mysterious errands. It is not until Jim reaches manhood that he confronts the Captain and learns the shocking truth about the man, his allegiances, and the nature of love. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by John Auchard. |
