'Youth' Summary
Youth is a story of a young narrator's first voyage as second mate on a cargo ship bound for Bangkok. The journey is plagued by trouble and delays, including a fierce storm, a collision with another ship, and a cholera outbreak among the crew. Despite these challenges, the narrator maintains a light-hearted buoyancy, finding joy in the camaraderie of his fellow sailors and the beauty of the sea. Conrad's writing in Youth is lyrical and evocative, capturing the beauty and danger of the sea and the resilience of the human spirit. The story is a classic of maritime literature and a timeless coming-of-age tale.Book Details
