Set sail for Africa and the Far East with this iconic tale of
adventure from the author of Heart of Darkness. In this
semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale, Charles Marlow, Joseph
Conrad’s alter ego, shares the story of his first journey to the
East. At the age of twenty, he becomes second mate aboard the ship the
Judea. But disaster awaits the vessel after it leaves England, loaded
with hundreds of tons of coal on its way to Thailand. A fierce
storm at sea, followed by a fire and explosion, tests Marlow and the
Judea’s crew, and the account of their hardships on the long journey
to Bangkok is a riveting tale of survival from Conrad, a veteran of
the British merchant marine and the author of such classics as The
Secret Sharer.
