TYPHOON AND THREE OTHERS

$10.00
Typhoon and Other Stories by JOSEPH CONRAD, a collection of four stories of the sea, was first published by Heinemann in 1903. Typhoon is a novella by Joseph Conrad, begun in 1899 and serialized in Pall Mall Magazine in January–March 1902. Its first book publication was in New York by Putnam in 1902. In 1887, Conrad worked as chief mate on the Highland Forest under Captain John McWhir, whom he portrays in the novel as "McWhirr.” He drew upon this six months' voyage for the novel. Amy Foster is a short story by Joseph Conrad written in 1901, first published in the Illustrated London News in December of that year. In 1997, Amy Foster was made into the film, Swept from the Sea. To-morrow was originally published in 1902 in The Pall Mall Magazine. Captain Hagberd, a retired sailor living in Colebrook, lives under the constant delusion that his long-lost son will return "to-morrow". Falk: A Reminiscence is a work of short fiction by Joseph Conrad. The story was completed in May 1901. Both Conrad and his agent J. B. Pinker made repeated efforts to see it published in Blackwood’s Magazine, but without success. Falk is one of only two of his short stories that never appeared in serial form. Despite this, Conrad remained fond of this tale, and considered it the best story in the collection.
