Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Yes, mikhail ;-)
The summary:
http://www.treefreemobile.com/the-***…
The social topics:
“The novel is seen as an allegory about isolation and solidarity, the ship’s company serving as a microcosm of a social group. Conrad appears to suggest that humanitarian sympathies are, at their core, feelings of self-interest and that a heightened sensitivity to suffering can be detrimental to managing a society.”
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nigg… )
And more:

Haha, the first link got deformed by help.com censorship.
Ok, the summary-text there is:
“Joseph Conrad’s The ****** of the Narcissus (1897) is a work of literary impressionism about the decline and salvation of an inscrutable black sailor, Wait, sailing from Bombay to London on board the merchant ship Narcissus. Wait falls ill with tuberculosis, and his illness arouses sympathies of several of the crew, while some remain indifferent. Portraying sea-life, the book explores the innate morality of the isolated seamen.”
If you replace (in the first linke) the *** by the taboo word you’ll find the page. There are also useful reader comments.
