Typhoon is a novella written by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1902. It tells the story of Captain MacWhirr, a stoic and unflappable sea captain, who navigates his ship, the Nan-Shan, through a violent typhoon in the South China Sea. The novella is a gripping tale of man versus nature, focusing on themes of leadership, duty, and human endurance.

In Typhoon, Conrad presents a powerful story of survival and leadership under extreme conditions. Captain MacWhirr, though lacking in charisma or emotional depth, is depicted as a quiet hero whose persistence and sense of duty allow him to triumph over one of nature's most fearsome forces. The novella is a reflection on human endurance, the nature of leadership, and the unpredictable power of the sea.
