Four classic stories of the sea by Joseph Conrad:Typhoon(1902),Amy Foster(1901),Falk(1903) andTomorrow(1902)These powerful stories, as Conrad critic Paul Kirschner has observed, present “a chiaroscuro of sea and land life in an alternating rhythm of hope and despair.” InTyphoon, a storm upends a captain’s complacency, hurling him and his crew into a terrifying battle with nature.Amy Foster, tells the story of an Eastern European immigrant shipwrecked off the coast of England, and his ultimately doomed love affair with the dim-witted Amy Foster. InFalk, the protagonist harbors a terrible secret that inhibits his ability to confront the woman he loves and find the wife he longs for. And inTomorrow, the son of a retired sea captain, who has been waiting years for his boy to come home, finally returns, but only because he is destitute and needs money.
