Portraying a young man's first sea-voyage to the East in Youth, and the blind old age of Captain Whalley in The End of the Tether, the stories in this volume are united in their theme the 'Ages of Man' and in their scepticism. Conrad's vision has influenced twentieth-century writers and artists from T. S. Eliot to Jorge Luis Borges and Werner Herzog, and continues to draw critical fire. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Youth: a Narrative & The End of the Tether = Конец троса: роман на англ.яз (J. Conrad)
