Three Sea Stories Typhoon, Falk, and the Shadow-Line - English - Paperback - By Joseph Conrad
Edited and with an Introduction by Dr. Keith Carabine, Chairperson of the Joseph Conrad Society of Great Britain.
As these three specially commissioned stories amply demonstrate, Conrad is our greatest writer of the sea. His characters are tested by dramatic events 'that show in the light of day the inner worth of a man, the edge of his temper, and the fiber of his stuff; that reveal the quality of his resistance and the secret stuff of his pretenses, not only to others but also to himself.
In Typhoon, Conrad's funniest story, Captain MacWhirr blunders into a hurricane that reveals the sea's treachery, violence, and terror.
Falk is desperate to get married, but first, he must tell of his terrible experiences as the sole survivor of a stricken ship that once drifted into the ice-caps of Antarctica.
The Shadow-Line is a poignant and beautiful story. Written during the First World War and based on Conrad's fond evocation of his own first command, it expresses his solidarity with all who were obliged to cross in early youth the shadow-line of their war-torn generation. Includes a glossary of nautical terms.
