Typhoon

Captain MacWhirr, a practical man with absolutely no sense of imagination, sets a path to sail right into a typhoon, despite the objections of his first mate and crew. Said to be based off an event in the life of highly esteemed author Joseph Conrad, Typhoon is a high-stakes adventure novel with satirical elements.

About the author

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-British writer, regarded as one of the greatest novelists in the English language. Though he was not fluent in English until the age of twenty, Conrad mastered the language and was known for his exceptional command of stylistic prose. Inspiring a reoccurring nautical setting, Conrad’s literary work was heavily influenced by his experience as a ship’s apprentice. Conrad’s style and practice of creating anti-heroic protagonists is admired and often imitated by other authors and artists, immortalizing his innovation and genius.
