Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love--and to put its trust in life!

In an effort to avoid heartbreak and suffering, Axel Heyst has closed off his heart to the world. Raised by a single father, a philosopher with an exceedingly pessimistic view of humanity, there was little hope for Axel the dreamer to turn out otherwise. Upon the death of his father, Axel leaves his home in England to wander the world with no path. Eventually he joins a coal company's expedition to a remote island in the Malay Archipelago--the setting of Conrad's Lord Jim--and on this journey he feels his heart begin to stir. He connects with the captain of the ship, empathizes with the poor man's plight, and even financially invests in the expedition. Sadly, his re-entrance into the world of human emotions is cut short when the enterprise fails and the captain dies, so Axel closes himself off once more.
