Typhoon and Other Tales

The four tales in this volume share autobiographical origins in Conrad's experience at sea and his exile from Poland. They vividly present Conrad's preoccupation with the theme of solidarity, challenged from without by the elements and from within by human doubts and fears. This revised edition uses the English first edition texts and has a new chronology and bibliography.

Cele patru povesti din acest volum impartasesc origini autobiografice din experienta lui Conrad pe mare si exilul sau din Polonia. Ele prezinta in mod viu preocuparea lui Conrad pentru tema solidaritatii, provocata din exterior de elemente si din interior de indoielile si fricile umane.
