Àííîòàöèÿ: THE NIGGER OF THE 'NARCISSUS' contaons, more than anything else he wrote, the essence of his experience at sea and of his views on the practical conduct of life. In THE NIGGER the author uses the Kipling touch in his description of life in the forecastle of a sailing-ship-'a fragment detached from the earth...like a small planet'. Dominating the scene is the figure of Allistoun, the vessel's master.Typhoon is the long short story in which the unimaginative Captain MacWhirr fights a steamship through a violent Pacific storm with a boat-load of cowering coolies. In the same volume are FALK (later described by the author as 'an episode in the story of my first command'), ARMY FOSTER, and TOMORROW

Àííîòàöèÿ: New texts of Joseph Conrad's modern classic 'The Secret Sharer' and of two other tales appear in this edition of 'Twixt Land and Sea with numerous words, sentences, and entire paragraphs restored from Conrad's manuscripts and typescripts. Written while he was working on Under Western Eyes, these stories, when collected together in 1912, marked the turning point in Conrad's professional fortunes that Chance would soon confirm. Published for the first time as Conrad meant them to be, these authoritative texts are accompanied by a new Introduction that discusses their sources, composition, and publication, and their reception up to our time. The Notes explain nautical, geographical, and historical references and are supplemented by diagrams, maps, and other illustrations. A textual essay and apparatus examine the revisions, excisions, divisions, and censorship the tales underwent, which till now have been reflected in editions unduly trusted by countless readers.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Jim, the first mate aboard the Patna, dreams youthful dreams of heroism and of the daring act that will prove his courage. But when the Patna, on a night crossing of the Arabian Sea, collides with a mysterious obstacle, Jim panics and jumps free. This single act of cowardice drives him to self-enforced exile as a white trader in the remote tropical outpost of Patusan. Jim's search for redemption and his dramatic bid to vindicate his romantic ideals are the stuff of a magnificently vivid and subtle novel. With "Heart of Darkness", "Nostromo" and "The Secret Agent", "Lord Jim" ranks among Joseph Conrad's masterpieces

Àííîòàöèÿ: We knew him in those unprotected days when we were content to hold in our hands our lives and our property. None of us I believe has any property now and I hear that many negligently have lost their lives; but I am sure that the few who survive are not yet so dim-eyed as to miss in the befogged respectability of their newspapers the intelligence of various native risings in the Eastern Archipelago.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The unforgettable story of a white boy raised by Indians, torn between the claims of loyalty and blood. True Son, born John Butler in a little frontier town, was captured by the Lenni Lenape Indians when he was just four years old. He was adopted into the tribe by the great warrior Cuyloga who renamed him and reared him as his own. True Son grew up to think, feel, and fight like an Indian, to revere their god. Then the Indians made a treaty and agreed to return all white captives to their own people. But by this time True Son had learned to dislike white men. Who were his own people now?
