The End of the Tether, a novella by Joseph Conrad, explores themes of human struggle, existential despair, and the relentless march of time. Set against the backdrop of the sea, it tells the poignant story of Edward Whalley, an aging sea captain facing the twilight of his life and career. As he navigates the challenges of an ever-changing maritime world, Whalley grapples with his fading relevance and the burden of his past choices.
