Beschreibung zu „Amy Foster“
"Amy Foster" by Joseph Conrad
A poor emigrant from Central Europe sailing from Hamburg to America is shipwrecked off the coast of England. The residents of nearby villages, at first unaware of the sinking, and hence of the possibility of survivors, regard him as a dangerous tramp and madman. He speaks no English; his strange foreign language frightens them, and they offer him no assistance. Eventually, "Yanko Goorall" is given shelter and employment by an eccentric old local, Mr. Swaffer.
