On the shallows. Conrad J.

A person who defeats the element and suffering in the fight against himself. In the novel “On the Blacks”, in 1920, which ended the series of novels about Captain Linggard, Konrad, says his old hero: “He is not used to indulging in the analysis of his sensations. He preferred to fight circumstances and tried to do this now. But now he lacked the confidence that is half the victory. The struggle was his native element, but he still did not know such a struggle.

It was a struggle within his own soul. Secret forces, invisible enemies fought with him. They were inside himself. Something or someone changed him. He began to listen, wanting to discover the traitor, and suddenly the thought clearly flashed through his blurred mind: “Why, this is me.”
