| 0:00.0 | And the The Welcome back everyone to another episode from one thousand one classic short stories and |
| 0:34.3 | tales. Joseph Conrad is a storyteller like Jack London who traveled much and saw |
| 0:41.0 | and experienced a lot particularly in the South Pacific and in Africa. |
| 0:46.0 | He wrote this story, Youth, in 1898, and the story depicts his first sea travel to the Far East. |
| 0:54.0 | This story is narrated by the fictional character Charles Marlow, who Joseph Conrad fans will remember from Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness. |
| 1:04.1 | The story begins with five men, all veterans of the Merchant Navy sharing drinks around a mahogany |
| 1:09.0 | table as Marlow begins to share his account of his first voyage to the east aboard the Bark Judea. |

| 2:04.0 | There was a director of companies, an accountant, a lawyer, |
| 2:09.0 | Marlow, and myself. |
| 2:12.0 | The director had been a Conway boy. The accountant had served four years at sea. |
| 2:17.2 | The lawyer, a fine-crusted Tory, high churchman, the best of old fellows, the soul of honor, had been chief officer in the P and O in the good old days, |
