Synopsis: Youth: A Narrative is an 1898 autobiographical short story by Joseph Conrad published in 1902. This tale portrays a young man's first expedition to the East. It is narrated by Charles Marlow, who is also the storyteller in Lord Jim, Chance, and Heart of Darkness.‘This could have occurred nowhere but in England, where men and sea interpenetrate, so to speak—the sea entering into the life of most men, and the men knowing something or everything about the sea, in the way of amusement, of travel, or of bread-winning.We were sitting round a mahogany table that reflected the bottle, the claret-glasses, and our faces as we leaned on our elbows. There was a director of companies, an accountant, a lawyer, Marlow, and myself. The director had been a Conway boy, the accountant had served four years at sea, the lawyer—a fine crusted Tory, High Churchman, the best of old fellows, the soul of honour—had been chief officer in the P. & O. service in the good old days when mail-boats were square-rigged at least on two masts, and used to come down the China Sea before a fair monsoon with stun’-sails set alow and aloft. We all began life in the merchant service. Between the five of us there was the strong bond of the sea, and also the fellowship of the craft, which no amount of enthusiasm for yachting, cruising, and so on can give, since one is only the amusement of life and the other is life itself.’ A Beautiful Reprint At Ginger Classics, we take every step possible to ensure that the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
