Book Description
The following four (4) short stories are the last of my “LongTALES for ShortTAILS” collection of seven (7) stories involving stories concocted from family members and personal characters I experienced in my growth experience while moving into adulthood and marriage. I am so proud to say I grew up in Compton, California and had one of the richest childhoods one could ever imagine. My greatest asset was to remember in my mind many childhood experiences; expand and explore these experiences; lock them in the back of my memory; and, finally, to expose them to the rest of the world. Following is the exposing. I just hope you like my stories – but more importantly – can relate to them. This fourth and final addition of my “LongTALES for ShortTAILS” short-story collection is dedicated to my first grandson, Lance Giovanni Filer. “Lil Gio” could easily be many of the kid characters mentioned in the following stories. Enjoy!

Nostromo A Tale of the Seaboard
Author: Joseph Conrad
Publisher: A G Printing & Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 627
Book Description
I don’t mean to say that I became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the ‘Typhoon’ volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about. This so strangely negative but disturbing mood lasted some little time; and then, as with many of my longer stories, the first hint for ‘Nostromo’ came to me in the shape of a vagrant anecdote completely destitute of valuable details. As a matter of fact in 1875 or ‘6, when very young, in the West Indies or rather in the Gulf of Mexico, for my contacts with land were short, few, and fleeting, I heard the story of some man who was supposed to have stolen single-handed a whole lighter-full of silver, somewhere on the Tierra Firme seaboard during the troubles of a revolution.
