'Typhoon' is the story of a steamship and her crew beset by tempest, and of the stolid captain whose dogged courage is tested to the limit. In 'Falk' a taciturn young woman is bizarrely courted by a tug-boat master who is haunted by a terrible secret. 'Amy Foster' tells of an emigrant Pole struggling to overcome isolation and prejudice in England. The final tale, 'The Secret Sharer', is Conrad's most famous short story, a masterpiece of suspense and ambiguity. Giving sanctuary to a fugitive sailor, a young sea-captain risks his ship and his command in order to save him. This revised edition uses the English first edition texts and has a new chronology and bibliography. 2359211 1963 Typhoon and Other Tales (Oxford World's Classics) total:179|5:47|4:67|3:56|2:7|1:2| 179 687 256 5 5 0 false false Fri Mar 14 18:31:41 -0700 2008 Wed May 07 19:27:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 20:04:21 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 20:09:56 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Dec 08 18:36:35 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 18:37:14 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat May 17 23:29:36 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 22 12:26:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 14 13:09:28 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 13:09:28 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 13:38:08 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 13:38:08 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Nov 22 04:59:10 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 04:59:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 21 22:56:55 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 22:56:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 21 17:25:30 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 17:25:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 09:41:19 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 09:41:19 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 21:22:03 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 21:37:51 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Oct 31 10:40:54 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 10:40:54 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Oct 28 22:07:29 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 22:07:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 21:53:02 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 21:53:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 09 14:06:40 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 14:06:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 17:26:50 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 17:26:50 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Oct 06 05:55:46 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 05:55:46 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 02 03:47:05 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 03:47:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 21:57:37 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 21:57:37 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 25 22:43:49 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 22:43:49 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=12195
