'Twixt Land And Sea by Joseph Conrad

A brooding, atmospheric tale of a seaman who has traded the open ocean for life ashore, only to find himself haunted by old loyalties, a rekindled attachment, and the pull of the sea; the story follows his moral and emotional struggle as past choices, chance encounters, and the contrast between shore-based respectability and the freedoms of maritime life force him to confront what he has sacrificed and what he truly desires.
