Classic adventure stories by Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, Stephen Crane, Robert Louis Stevenson and Jack London mix with marvellously imaginative tales by Isak Dinesen, Patricia Highsmith and J. G. Ballard. Robert Olen Butler explores the memories of a Titanic victim who has become part of the sea that swallowed him; Ray Bradbury's 'The Fog Horn' summons something primeval and lonely from the ocean depths; John Updike's lovers retrace the route of Homer's Odyssey on a cruise ship. From Edgar Allan Poe's dramatic 'A Descent into the Maelstrom' to Ernest Hemingway's chilling 'After the Storm', the stories here are as wide-ranging and entrancing as the sea itself.

Short Stories to Take You Away to the Sea
9 Aug 2011
By jellobnaner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great book that has a number of short stories about the deep blue. There are several categories, such as sci-fi, classic, horror, etc. The stories are short enough to get a nice quick read in a night or two. The book is from the Everyman's Library so the paper is of high quality, the hard cover is covered with cloth and there is the nice heavy ribbon to use as your bookmarker. If you are a fan of reading tales of the sea, this is a must read for you.

The book would be a perfect companion for a sea voyage.
It's small and handy and, of course, full of great sea tales.
