The Dead Men's Boat

The sea is a place of great discoveries and adventures—an indispensable route for travelers and trade, a place where people learned to overcome their fears and dared to embark on new feats. The rustle of waves, the cries of seagulls, warm sand underfoot… it’s hard to imagine a more peaceful picture. But then the wind changes, dark clouds roll in, and the sea is no longer calm and quiet. Now it is a mighty—and sometimes deadly—element.

Stories about this so different yet mysterious and unknown sea await you in this collection. Some of the works have long been known and loved by readers, while others were undeservedly forgotten and seemed only to be waiting to be pulled from the depths and discovered anew, like a lost treasure.
