Описание: "Typhoon and Other Stories" is a collection of four shorter works by Joseph Conrad. In the title work «Typhoon» we have a classic tale of the sea which describes how Captain MacWhirr sails the Siamese steamer «Nan-Shan» into a typhoon. «Typhoon» excellently depicts sea-faring life at the turn of the 20th century. Also included in this collection is «Amy Foster», the story of a Polish immigrant who on his way to America becomes shipwrecked off the cost of England. Since he speaks no English, he is treated as a madman and imprisoned by the local Englishmen who find him. In «Amy Foster» Conrad draws upon his Polish heritage to provide a convincing story of the difficulties arising from acclimating oneself to a foreign land. You will also find the stories «Falk: A Reminiscence» and «To-Morrow» in this collection of nautically themed works.
