The protagonist in Joseph Conrad’s Amy Foster (1901) is Yanko Goorall, an immigrant from Polish origins like Conrad himself. Some of the novel’s events are supposed to be based on actual details of Conrad’s experience and married life in England. The story starts when Yanko is shipwrecked on his way to the New World and finds himself on shores of the English county of Kent. Being a complete foreigner who does not even speak the language of the country, Yanko has to go through numerous hardships and is repeatedly mistreated by the locals who think he is a madman. He gradually learns the English language and manages to familiarize with the culture and customs of the locals. His life is completely changed when he falls in love with an English young woman named Amy Foster who is rather plain and dull-looking. They soon marry and have a child. However, one day, Yanko falls seriously ill and starts to hallucinate in his mother tongue. Apparently frightened by the strange sounds, Amy takes her child and flies away. Her husband dies the following day.
Amy Foster "A man most open actions have a secret side to them" edition by Joseph Conrad Literature Fiction eBooks
This 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, Amazon 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.

Amy Foster "A man most open actions have a secret side to them" edition by Joseph Conrad Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I read this on my 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 with Prime membership.
Read it after watching the movie. As somebody said after seeing John Huston's film The Bible "saw the movie, loved the book."
The movie "Swept From The Sea" is the reason I read this book. I enjoyed the movie and the book.
One 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.
