description: TYPHOON is the tale of an old steamer and an ageless captain. The drama unfolds against a sea gone wild. Unimaginative and imperturbable, Captain MacWhirr faces down the storm, a rebellion in steerage and an insubordinate mate. The story is a deep affirmation of simple and conservative virtues. Conrad's first novel, ALMAYER'S FOLLY is set in the South Seas. It examines the failure of a man to appraise his own capacity, and the tragedy this brings on others.
