One of the most romantic stories ever written By Christian Kober Youth is the story of a young marine officer, taking his first big trip, from England to the Far East. His ship is the Judea, an old ship, continously beset by calamities. The ships motto 'Do or Die' also fans the romantic flames of the young first mate.The captain, the first mate and the ship reach, despite all misadventures, the Gulf of Bengal, where final misfortune befalls them, their cargo, coal, catches fire and the ship is doomed.The story is set in the twilight days of the old sailboats. It is romance against the future, but it is also the romance of youth against the wisdom of age. Everyone who once has felt the pulse of adventure in his blood, everyone who once longed for the beckoning adventures of the magical East and of the Sea, will find himself in this book.And pitty on whoever cannot relate to this book.

Heart of Darkness is the Celebrity; Youth is the Masterpiece By JackOfMostTrades Placing these three novellas together was indeed a touch of brilliance. They form a natural trilogy, and happily, 'Youth' is the first in the series as it is to my mind the most profound, hauntingly, and beautifully written. It is a coming of age story of sorts, a brilliant one that operates on many levels: thematically, linguistically, symbolically, and logically to form a mediation on the changes of the peception towards life one goes through as one ages--the trope is brilliant, a man of 45 looking back on a time when he was 20, and realizing that the adventure he THOUGHT he had, was really a comedy of errors populated by bad luck and incompetent sailors. The writing is a bit elegaic, but the narrator is extremely clever--providing a 'meta-analysis' of his own jaded life now in relationship to his 'gee whiz' youth. It also raises a very interesting question. Is it better to maintain those 'positive illusions' of youth--living life with fond memories when everything was new and exciting (deluded by one's inexperience) or better to be 'wise' to the ways of the world, so you can function more efficiently albeit in a machine-like fashion? Perhaps in Conrad's day, this occurred faster, but nonetheless, it is an eternally relevant story and brilliantly and beautifully written. About HOD, enough has been said. Of The End of the Tether, the title says it all: What is the natural progression here? We start off with 'Youth' go to the 'Heart' (of the matter), and finish up with being at 'The end of 'our' Tether.' It doesn't get much better than this as far as literature is concerned.

In this volume three stories, from three Ages of Life are included. The first 'Youth'is about a maiden vogage to sea, and the last "The End of the Tether" about an old man in his blindness. The story however which has been most written and thought about, and is considered one of Conrad's masterpieces is " Heart of Darkness".It begins as a meditative reflection, a telling on the banks of the Thames to his friends by the veteran seaman Marlowe of a tale of exploration and disaster. He tells of a voyage into the heart of Africa in search of an enlightened European adventurer and merchant Kurtz . Kurtz has dealt in the deepest part of the jungle in trading in ivory. But what Marlowe comes to discover and see is someone who has seen into ' the heart of darkness' and dies crying out ,"The Horror, the Horror". Marlowe returns to Europe and civilization and tells Kurtz's fiancee that Kurtz's last words were her name.But the tale is more than the story or the plot. With Conrad the meaning of the tale is the creation of the atmosphere and the meditation on the voyage throughout .It is in a kind too of bringing us into another whole mode of being in thinking about our lives. " The heart of darkness" to the uncivilized African reality and it refers to the deepest recesses of the human soul, a soul which crosses through and transcends continents.As Conrad's great Literature does.
