End Of The Tether 9781583960257 Books

What a wonderful---albeit tragic---tale. Conrad's superb writing creates a mood that stays with you long after the story ends. In a relatively few pages we are treated to marvelously descriptive prose that gives us the heroic Captain Whalley with his daughter's wellbeing as a major motivator, the horrible Mr. Massy who whines about his life without taking any responsibility, the sneaky Mr. Sterne willing to reveal secrets to ensure his personal success, the admirable Mr. Van Wyk who played a genteel role in sorting out fact and fiction, and the loyal Malay, Serang.

As is true in other Conrad books, the racism of the times creeps in and remains unsettling although the reader understands its inclusion.

I had never heard of this book until a few weeks ago and am thoroughly delighted to have encountered such a work.
