'Typhoon' is a novella by Joseph Conrad, a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. The novella began in 1899 and serialized in Pall Mall Magazine in JanuaryMarch 1902. Captain MacWhirr sails the SS Nan-Shan, a British-built steamer running under the Siamese flag, into a typhoon—a mature tropical cyclone of the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean. Other characters include the young Jukes - most probably an alter ego of Conrad from the time he had sailed under captain John McWhirr—and Solomon Rout, the chief engineer. While Macwhirr, who, according to Conrad, 'never walked on this Earth'—is emotionally estranged from his family and crew, and though he refuses to consider an alternative course to skirt the typhoon, his indomitable will in the face of a superior natural force elicits grudging admiration.
