End of the Tether is a novel written by Joseph Conrad, a Polish-British writer, and was first published in 1902. The story is set in the Malay Archipelago, where a retired captain named Tom Lingard lives with his daughter, Ada, and his loyal servant, Babalatchi. Lingard, who used to be a successful trader, is now in financial trouble and has put all his hopes on a new venture that he hopes will save him from ruin.However, things take a turn for the worse when Lingard's ship is destroyed in a storm, and he is left with no means to repay his debts. In desperation, he turns to his daughter's suitor, Mr. Travers, for help, but Travers has his own agenda and is not willing to help without getting something in return.As Lingard struggles to find a way out of his predicament, he is forced to confront the harsh realities of life in the Malay Archipelago, where power and money rule and loyalty is a rare commodity. In the end, Lingard is faced with a difficult decision that will determine the fate of his family and his own legacy.End of the Tether is a powerful exploration of human nature, greed, and the struggle for survival. Conrad's vivid descriptions of the exotic landscape and the complex characters that inhabit it make this novel a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today.The sacred edifice, standing in solemn isolation amongst the converging avenues of enormous trees, as if to put grave thoughts of heaven into the hours of ease, pre- sented a closed Gothic portal to the light and glory of the west. The glass of the rosace above the ogive glowed like fiery coal in the deep carvings of a wheel of stone.
