An English boy in a simple town has dreams bigger than the outdoors and embarks at an early age into the sailor's life. The waters he travels reward him with the ability to explore the human spirit, while Joseph Conrad launches the story into both an exercise of his technical prowess and a delicately crafted picture of a character who reaches the status of a literary hero. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

In 1896 he settled in Kent, where he produced within fifteen years such modern classics as \u003ci\u003eYouth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLord Jim\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTyphoon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNostromo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Agent\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUnder Western Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e. He continued to write until his death in 1924.
