18 cm, Softcover / Paperback, Condition: Gut. XXIX, 353 p., Zustand: Exemplar in gutem Zustand, Ränder und / oder Cover etwas berieben. Text, Sprache: Englisch, Joseph Conrad ; Introduction by C.B. Cox ; notes by Norman Sherry. The three stories in this edition, 'Youth', 'Heart of Darkness' and 'The End of the Tether' illustrate conflicts in Conrad's personality. 'Youth' is an autobiographical account of his first exhilarating journey to the East and exudes confidence. In it we see the steadfast and energetic lover of the sea that was one side of Conrad. 'The End of the Tether', a tale of a captain who compromises his integrity for the sake of his daughter, is full of the power of evil; here we see the other side of Conrad that was often moody, neurotic and given to suicidal despair. In 'Heart of Darkness', however the two sides of his temperament are fully expressed, and we see the seaman's code of discipline and work coming into conflict with the dark secret areas of the imagination.
