Youth, a Narrative by Joseph Conrad
"Youth, a Narrative" by Joseph Conrad is a short story first published in 1898. Narrated by the recurring character Marlow, it recounts a young sailor's first voyage to the Far East aboard the ill-fated barque Judea. What should be a straightforward coal delivery to Bangkok becomes an epic test of endurance as the aging ship suffers collision, storms, months of repairs, and finally spontaneous combustion at sea. Based on Conrad's own experiences,
this autobiographical tale captures youthful optimism confronting maritime disaster with unusual serenity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
