About this book

Several men connected with the sea sit down to an unappetising dinner at a riverside inn on the Thames, and Joseph Conrad's story starts from their talk of wrecks, old ships and the changed spirit of sea life. A P. & O. liner and a Norwegian steamer pass the window, then a wooden barque with a woman in a red hood pacing the poop. An older man who had commanded ships for twenty-five years watches it glide away. Falk carries the subtitle A Reminiscence and was collected in Conrad's volume Typhoon and Other Stories in 1903.
