Книга: Conrad Joseph «Three Sea Stories. Typhoon, Falk&The Shadow-Line»

Производитель: "Wordsworth"

Серия: "Wordsworth Classics"

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 fibre of his stuff; that reveal the quality of his resistance and the secret stuff of his pretences, 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 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. It includes a glossary of nautical terms. ISBN:978-1-85326-743-7
