{"product_id":"amy-foster-joseph-conrad-9781169178137","title":"Amy Foster","description":"Amy Foster is a short story written by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1901. The story is set in rural England and follows the life of a young girl named Amy Foster, who is ostracized by her community due to her foreign background. Despite her isolation, Amy falls in love with a shipwrecked sailor named Yanko, who washes up on the shore near her home. Yanko is also an outsider, having come from Eastern Europe, and the two bond over their shared sense of displacement. However, their relationship is met with resistance from the townspeople, who view Yanko as a threat to their way of life. As the story unfolds, Amy and Yanko must navigate the challenges of their relationship while facing the prejudices of their community. Amy Foster is a poignant exploration of themes such as identity, belonging, and the human capacity for compassion and understanding.I had the time to see her dull face, red, not with a mantling blush, but as if her flat cheeks had been vigorously slapped, and to take in the squat figure, the scanty, dusty brown hair drawn into a tight knot at the back of the head. She looked quite young. With a distinct catch in her breath, her voice sounded low and timid.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
