1 in stock
Description
'Youth, Heart of Darkness and The End of the Tether' brings together three of Joseph Conrad’s best-known works, united by their exploration of the sea, experience, isolation and the pressures placed upon individuals by forces beyond their control. 'Youth' recalls the adventures of a young sailor on his first voyage to the East, while 'Heart of Darkness' follows Marlow’s journey into the Congo in search of the enigmatic Kurtz. 'The End of the Tether' centres on Captain Whalley, an ageing and increasingly desperate seaman struggling to conceal his failing eyesight and maintain his independence. Together, the three works span different stages of life and experience, examining courage, memory, ambition, moral uncertainty and the often painful gap between youthful ideals and the realities of human existence.
