"Falk: A Reminiscence" is an ancient fiction classic story book written by Joseph Conrad. After the former captain dies, a young mariner takes command of a ship in the far east. The crew is unwell and unpleasant, the ship lacks provisions, and there are delays in getting underway. He befriends Hermann, the captain of the Diana, a German ship that is docked nearby. Hermann lives on board with his wife, four children, and his niece, a simple but pretty young woman. Falk, the captain of a tug with a stranglehold on navigation on the river flowing out to the ocean, spends time with this family as well.
Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British novelist and short story writer. He is considered as one of the best authors in the English language, despite the fact that he did not speak English effectively until his twenties. He became known as a master prose stylist who introduced a non-English sensibility into English literature. He authored novels and novellas, many of which take place at sea, about crises of human identity in what he perceived as an indifferent, incomprehensible, and amoral world. Conrad is regarded as a literary impressionist by some and an early modernist by others, while his works also incorporate elements of nineteenth-century realism. His storytelling style and anti-heroic characters, such as Lord Jim, impacted a number of authors. Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew on his native Poland's national experiences—during nearly all of his life, parcelled out among three occupying empires—as well as his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world, including imperialism and colonialism, and that profoundly explore the human psyche. Apollo took his kid to the Austrian-controlled region of Poland in December 1867, which had enjoyed significant internal freedom and self-government for the previous two years. After seeing Lwow and numerous smaller towns, they relocated to Krakow (Poland's capital until 1596), which is also in Austrian Poland, on February 20, 1869.
