Typhoon, Amy Foster, Falk: A Reminiscence, and Tomorrow, by Joseph Conrad (1902)

So I picked up this very nice 1932 copy of Conrad stories at the local antiques store up here in Beulah, a good condition Doubleday.

I think the most interesting story of the bunch is definitely Falk,

These are all classic Conrad and I was itching for more so I am glad to have found it. Conrad at his best "going dark"

Typhoon is the Action story of the four.
In a day and age where you had to "know the signs" it was a judgment call.

Amy Foster is a story of race and prejudice (oddly relevant)
Picture yourself in the position of the main character; an awful position to be in

Falk is about past deeds, acceptance, self interests, and love.
Picture yourself in the position of the main character; an awful position to be in

Tomorrow is about longing for what is gone and self delusion
This old geezer has no idea why "the boy" don't come home
