About this book

The stolid, unimaginative Captain MacWhirr drives his steamer straight into a monstrous typhoon in the China seas, and the ferocious storm tests the endurance of ship, crew, and the coolies battened below decks. Conrad turns a simple premise into an overwhelming portrait of nature's fury and the strange heroism of ordinary, plain men who simply do their duty. Written with tremendous descriptive power, this short novel is a tour de force of sea writing. Gripping and elemental, Typhoon captures the raw force of the ocean and the quiet courage required to survive it, standing among the finest of all Conrad's tales of the sea.
