{"product_id":"youth-joseph-conrad-9781161486858","title":"Youth","description":"\"\"Youth\"\" is a novella written by Joseph Conrad and published in 1902. The story is a semi-autobiographical account of the author's own experiences as a young man working as a sailor on various ships. The main character, Marlow, is a young man who dreams of adventure and decides to leave his comfortable life in England to work on a steamship bound for the Congo. Throughout the novella, Marlow experiences the harsh realities of life at sea and the challenges of navigating through dangerous waters. He also encounters a number of interesting characters, including the ship's captain and a mysterious man named Kurtz who has gone mad in the jungle. \"\"Youth\"\" is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of ambition, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in life. It is also a reflection on the human condition and the consequences of colonialism and imperialism. The novella is written in Conrad's signature style, characterized by vivid descriptions, complex characters, and a deep sense of psychological insight.\"\"We were a week working up as far as Yarmouth Roads, and then we got into a gale--the famous October gale of twenty-two years ago. It was wind, lightning, sleet, snow, and a terrific sea. We were flying light, and you may imagine how bad it was when I tell you we had smashed bulwarks and a flooded deck. On the second night she shifted her ballast into the lee bow, and by that time we had been blown off somewhere on the Dogger Bank.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
