    About this ebook

    A group of men, all belonging to the merchant navy, are having some drinks, while talking about their first adventure across the sea. One of them, Marlow, gets control of the conversation and begins to tell about his own first experience as a second mate on a ship called Judea. It happened twenty-two years earlier, when he was only twenty: a very young man, full of passion, strength and illusions. He and his crew were on a trip to Thailand, the East, when confronted with violent natural events. Will they be able to overcome them?
    Youth is an autobiographical short story by Joseph Conrad. The story is told by Charles Marlow, who is also the narrator of Lord Jim, Chance, and Heart of Darkness.

    Joseph Conrad

    Polish-born Joseph Conrad is regarded as a highly influential author, and his works are seen as a precursor to modernist literature. His often tragic insight into the human condition in novels such as Heart of Darkness and The Secret Agent is unrivalled by his contemporaries.

      The Greatest Gift?

      What is the greatest gift a father can give to his son? Courage? Intellect? Honesty? In my case it was the art of sailing, which arguably combines all three of those ancient virtues. A century has now passed since my father, Richard Stephens Durham’s
