In a range of tones extending from the sombre to the radiant, Conrad\'s central preoccupations are displayed at their best, strangest, and most plangent in this selection of stories.
Amy Foster, written in 1901, is bleak and stark in its depiction of human isolation and incomprehension.
Conrad\'s experiences as a captain of the ship Otago in 1888 provided material for both The Secret Sharer and Falk.
Both stories vividly present Conrad\'s abiding preoccupation with the theme of solidarity, challenged from without by the elements and from within by human doubts and fears.
Typhoon, a story of a steamship and her crew beset by a tempest, is a masterpiece of descriptive virtuosity and moral irony, while The Secret Sharer excels in symbolic ambiguity.
