Synopsis
Two novellas by Joseph Conrad. Both the stories in this book sprang from Conrad's own experience sailing in the Far East with the Merchant Navy, 'before I ever thought of putting pen to paper.' But they are far from being mere reminiscences, expressing as they do so intensely the two sides of Conrad's personality. In the first story, Youth, Conrad captures a storm-wracked voyage to Bangkok all the young man's exhilaration in the face of danger and the unknown. The second, and longer story is in bold contrast to the optimism of 'Youth". Captain Whalley, an upright old sea-captain, compromises with his own rectitude without understanding the ubiquity of the evil that surrounds him. As his ship sails through the islands of the South Pacific, his own falsehoods and the ambitions and obsessions of his crew combine to bring on disaster.

About the Author
Polish author Joseph Conrad is considered to be one of the greatest English-language novelists, a remarkable achievement considering English was not his first language. Conrad s literary works often featured a nautical setting, reflecting the influences of his early career in the Merchant Navy, and his depictions of the struggles of the human spirit in a cold, indifferent world are best exemplified in such seminal works as Heart of Darkness, Lord JimM, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Regarded as a forerunner of modernist literature, Conrad s writing style and characters have influenced such distinguished writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, and George Orwell, among many others. Many of Conrad s novels have been adapted for film, most notably Heart of Darkness, which served as the inspiration and foundation for Francis Ford Coppola s 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
