Typhoon

by Joseph Conrad Narrated by Amir Mohammadi

Overview

Typhoon is a novel by Joseph Conrad and is published in 1902. It tells the story of a steamship captain who gets into a major typhoon and the crew's struggle to survive the raging waters. The novel has two main character: Captain Macwhirr and Young Mr. Jukes.
Macwhirr is captain of SS Nan-Shan, a British-built steamer. He is gruff, empirical and without imagination. In contrast, Mr.Jukes - the first mate of Macwhirr - is a literate and intelligent man who has too much imagination. Discussion between two main characters and how they react during the typhoon, move the story forward.
This version of the book is translated by Soheil Sommi to Persian (Farsi) and narrated by Amir Mohammadi. The Persian version of Typhoon's audiobook is published by Maktub worldwide.

From the Publisher

"Conrad is quite simply the master of all who try to reflect the world of the sea in the mirror of the written word....No one has limned more vividly the courage, the skill, the dreams, and terrors of those who set out upon the waters. He is the Captain." -David Poyer, author of The Med.

AUG/SEP 03 - AudioFile

This classic sea yarn of 1903, in which a fairly stupid captain somehow pilots his steamer through a horrendous storm, is remarkable for its evocation of life aboard ship, its quirky eloquence, and its psychological insight. None of these qualities pertain to narrator Brick's reading. He is "phoning it in" here, an unusual defect in this usually excellent young reader. Y.R. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
