Taifun

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

Kapten Macwhirr är en ångbåtskapten som har rykte om sig att vara en stadig men fantasilös och man. Han hade aldrig kunnat tro att någon storm hade kunnat utgöra ett hot för hans mäktiga skepp, så även om alla tecken tyder på osäkert väder längre fram är han ovillig att ändra kurs - något som kan visa sig bli ett ödesdigert beslut.

About the Author

Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
