Joseph Conrad 
Typhoon and Other Stories 

‚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 Mac Whirr 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.
