Amy FosterAmy Foster

"Amy Foster" is a short story by Joseph Conrad written in 1901. It was first published in the Illustrated London News (December 1901), and was collected in Typhoon and Other Stories (1903).
"Yanko Goorall", a Polish immigrant en route for America is shipwrecked on the shores of Kent, England. The name he assumes is a corruption of his actual name, Janko Goral, which means "Johnny Highlander" in Polish. Speaking no English, he is treated as a madman and is whipped, stoned, beaten and imprisoned by the locals. Eventually he is given a job by a Mr. Swaffer, learns to speak English, and falls in love with Amy Foster, an English girl who had shown him kindness. They marry and have a son.

Joseph Conrad was a Polish novelist who lived most of his life in Britain and didn't learn English until age 21. The young Conrad lived an adventurous life involving gunrunning and political conspiracy, and apparently had a disastrous love affair that plunged him into despair. He served 16 years in the merchant navy.In 1894, at age 36, Conrad reluctantly gave up the sea, partly because of poor health and partly because he had decided on a literary career.

A Personal RecordA Personal Record

As a general rule we do not want much encouragement to talk about ourselves; yet this little book is the result of a friendly suggestion, and even of a little friendly pressure.
A Personal Record is an autobiographical work (or "fragment of biography") by Joseph Conrad, published in 1912.
It has also been published under the titles A Personal Record: Some Reminiscences and Some Reminiscences.
Notoriously unreliable and digressive in structure, it is nonetheless the principal contemporary source for information about the author's life. It tells about his schooling in Russian Poland, his sailing in Marseille, the influence of his Uncle Tadeusz, and the writing of Almayer's Folly.

The Helpful Guide to Memorizing English Words in Plenty 2004The manual describes the author's system of words in blocks of harmony, as well as the classification of words meaning a minimum of English. This system allows not only easy to learn to read and memorize the words, but also develop the ability to create their own sound and semantic association, that is an integral part of thinking in English.
