Youth

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

Conrad was a Polish-born English novelist. His success is even more amazing since he did not learn to speak English until he was in his 20's. Conrad's narrative style places him at the beginning of the Modernist period of literature. Past adventures of the sea bind five men together as this story unfolds.
