It has managed to retain the fascination of readers and scholars to a far greater extent than his other fine works, such as the more conventionally novelistic tale of South American political chicanery and greed in Nostromo and the substantially more page-turning thriller \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Agent\u003c\/i\u003e. It is accompanied in this volume by the tales with which it has been published since 1902: the autobiographical short story \u003ci\u003eYouth\u003c\/i\u003e, and the less personal but more substantial tale of an old man's fall from fortune, \u003ci\u003eThe End of the Tether\u003c\/i\u003e. Though these stories differ considerably in style and content from his later novels, much of his reputation rests upon the words contained in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an Afterword by David Pinching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conrad, Joseph","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55050339090771,"sku":"XV81904919865","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/conrad-joseph-joseph-conrad-heart-of-darkness-youth-and-the-end-of-the-tether-2006-hardback-xv81904919865-1259906608.jpg?v=1790281480","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/joseph-conrad-heart-of-darkness-youth-and-the-end-of-the-tether-2006-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
