{"product_id":"youth-heart-of-darkness-the-joseph-conrad-9780521197991","title":"Youth, Heart of Darkness, the End of the Tether","description":"'Youth', Heart of Darkness and 'The End of the Tether' make up Conrad's most celebrated collection of short narratives. Heart of Darkness forms its somber centerpiece: set in the Congo of the 1890s, this haunting and widely influential Modernist masterpiece explores the limits of human experience as well as the nightmarish realities and consequences of imperialism. The Cambridge edition presents this trio of stories and Conrad's preface to the collection in forms more authoritative than any so far published. The introduction situates the stories in Conrad's publishing career, traces their sources and surveys contemporary reception. The edition includes detailed explanatory and contextual notes, a glossary of nautical terms, maps and illustrations. A textual essay and comprehensive apparatus reveal the history of each story's composition, revision and publication. This volume will allow scholars to see these familiar stories in a fresh light, by returning to Conrad's original texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Conrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521197996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521197991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Cloth","brand":"Joseph Conrad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056257495295,"sku":"9780521197991","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67d61406-9188-464c-b45f-4b17646ed5dc.jpg?v=1685040361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/youth-heart-of-darkness-the-joseph-conrad-9780521197991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
