Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_(novella) "Typhon" by Joseph Conrad is a novella written in the late 19th century. The story primarily revolves around Captain Mac Whirr, a seemingly unremarkable yet steadfast figure, as he navigates his ship, the Nan-Shan, through treacherous waters during a typhoon. The novella delves into themes of isolation, the unpredictability of nature, and the inner workings of a crew facing an impending disaster. The opening of "Typhon" introduces us to Captain Mac Whirr, who is portrayed as a dull yet reliable captain, accompanied by his second-in-command, Jukes. As the ship embarks on a journey from the South towards the port of Fou-Tchéou, various elements of the ship's crew and their dynamic relationships are illustrated. Tension begins to build as the barometer drops, hinting at the ominous approach of a typhoon. Through vivid descriptions and subtle character interactions, the beginning sets the stage for the unfolding disaster, focusing on the crew's reactions to the shifting weather and their reliance on Mac Whirr's leadership amid growing peril.
