Hello!! How are you?
I'm new here and I need to know the name of a story by Joseph Conrad. I'm a spanish speaker and I know the name in spanish is "El intruso" but I don't know its translation inito english. I need to know when was "El Intruso" published. I couldn't find it anywhere in spanish so ,maybe, If I had the name in Enlgish, I would have more lucky at finding.
The story it's about a person that has killed a partner of his crew. Then he was shut in his room but then he could escape. He jumped over the ship and started swimming. Then he find other ship where the capitan of it helped him to go up. then they started talking about this murder and the crossing.
I hope you can help me and you understand what I say.
Thank you so much.

I believe that is The Secret Sharer. Read it some time ago but Conrad's look into human mind and psychology is very captivating.

Here (http://emotional-literacy-education.com/classic-books-online-c/sshar11.htm) is an online copy.
