About this book
Joseph Conrad's "Youth, a Narrative" recounts Marlow's early voyage to the East aboard an ill-fated ship, framed as an older man's recollection of the resilience and illusions of his younger self. It suits readers of adventure fiction and those interested in Conrad's sea tales.
Note: this work was first published in 1898, not 2006; the date given is likely a reprint edition.
