Three Sea Stories Author: Joseph Conrad Retail Price: $7.99 Our Price: $7.19 Save: 0.80 (10.01%) Availability: In Stock        As these three specially commissioned stories amply demonstrate, Conrad is our greatest wrtier 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 resistaance 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 sole survivor of a stricken ship that once drifted into ice caps of Antarctica. The Shadow-Line is a poignant and beautiful story. Written during the First World War and based on Conrads fond evocationof 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. Similar Items you may enjoy! 101 Hymn Stories: The Inspiring True Stories Behind 101 Favorite Hymns - Unabridged Audiobook on CD Author: Kenneth W.
