Norman Foster, one of the most consistent advocates of architec- ture based on modern technology, achieved a world-wide reputa- tion with the headquarters for the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation in Hong Kong, Stansted Airport in London, Century Tower in Tokyo and his telecommunications tower in Barcelona. His most important projects in Germany are the conversion of the Reichstag building in Berlin and the new Commerzbank headquar- ters in Frankfurt am Main.
En häftig storm utanför Cornwall, vid Englands sydvästkust, leder ett främmande fartyg i skeppsbrott. Yanjo, en ung man från Karpaterna, driver i land med de höga vågorna och lyckas överleva. Bybefolkningen bemöter honom med misstro, antipati och misstänksamhet, endast den tystlåtna och lite enfaldiga tjänsteflickan Amy Foster vågar närma sig honom. Amy Foster är en berättelse om främlingsfientlighet, ensamhet och utanförskap som inte ens kärleken förmår att besegra. Verket utkom första gången 1901 och är en parallell till Conrads egen levnadsbakgrund såsom emigrant från polsktalande Ukraina, boende i England. Ännu ett sekel efter dess tillkomst är berättelsens tema lika aktuell som någonsin.

Amy Foster"" is a short story by Joseph Conrad. Conrad's story, told in a realist style, is deeply infused with irony and symbolism. The bay looms behind the quiet life of the village in the first lines of the story, representing the presence of the rest of the world that the townspeople cannot quite keep out. Conrad, heavily influenced by the adventure tale, uses the expected outlines of the story of a castaway washed up in a new land to tell a much darker, ironic story. Conrad's own history as a Polish immigrant to this area of England clearly influenced "Amy Foster," which highlights failures of communication between people of different ethnicities and between men and women, as well as concerns about the author's ability to communicate with his audience.
