0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A very actual shipwreck survivorBy medicusThis review is from: Amy Foster (Kindle Edition)In a dense and beautiful prose, the story of the reception of the miraculous survivor of a shipwreck in a community on the seashore. Heartrending and still a vivid questioning of our capacity to accept the other. Excellent kindle text, albeit without the useful notes of the penguin edition of conrad tales of which I own a paper copy. Funnily, has censored a previous draft of this review most probably because of a n word which is used by Conrad in the title of his story which gives also the title of the volume. Suffice it to say that the end of the title is " of the Narcissus". Another beautiful tale of meeting the other's face.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A twisted tale of intolerance, a lesson to be learned in it for all.By wranglerlauraOne of the things I love about reading Conrad is that his books and short stories always leave me pondering the human condition. As a student of psychology, this story was intriguing in its twists and turns as it demonstrated the failings of prejudice.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good readBy Tina :)I read this on my Kindle and it was a fairly quick read, with a touching, well-written story. It is one of the many great classics available for free download on Kindle with Prime membership.

Amy Foster" is a short story by Joseph Conrad written in 1901, first published in the Illustrated London News (December 1901). A poor emigrant from Central Europe sailing from Hamburg to America is shipwrecked off the coast of England. The residents of nearby villages, at first unaware of the sinking, and hence of the possibility of survivors, regard him as a dangerous tramp and madman. He speaks no English; his strange foreign language frightens them, and they offer him no assistance. Eventually "Yanko Goorall" (as rendered in English spelling) is given shelter and employment by an eccentric old local, Mr. Swaffer. Yanko learns a little English. He explains that his given name Yanko means "little John" and that he was a mountaineer (a resident of a mountain area mdash; a Goorall), hence his surname. The story's narrator reveals that Yanko hailed from the Carpathian Mountains. Yanko falls in love with Amy Foster, a servant girl who has shown him some kindness. To the community's disapproval, they marry. The couple live in a cottage given to Yanko by Swaffer for having saved his granddaughter's life. Yanko and Amy have a son whom Amy calls Johnny (after Little John). Amy, a simple woman, is troubled by Yanko's behavior, particularly his trying to teach their son to pray with him in his "disturbing" language. Several months later Yanko falls severely ill and, suffering from a fever, begins raving in his native language. Amy, frightened, takes their child and flees for her life. Next morning Yanko dies of heart failure. It transpires that he had simply been asking in his native language for water.
