Description

"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.
