The End of the Tether

By Joseph Conrad

When a bank collapses, retired sailor Henry Whalley is forced to make the difficult decision to return back to sea. His experiences at sea mirror Conrad's own as a sea merchant, giving the novella a uniquely autobiographical element. Skillfully crafted characters, masterful descriptions, and real-life events make 'The End of the Tether' a vividly emotional read for fans of modern and classic adventure alike. -
