A classic story of sea-faring life at the turn of the century; Captain Macwhirr, estranged from his family and his crew, sails the Siamese steam Nan-Shan into the center of a typhoon. 110 Pages in print. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis one tells the story of a merchant ship carrying a load of \"coolies\", migrant Chinese workers, that runs into a typhoon. We experience it all through the eyes of the stolid, non-plussed Captain MacWhirr and his skittish but duty bound first mate, Jukes. Conrad can be a tad dense at times, but his descriptions of the terrifying power of the storm and it's effect on the crew are amazing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConrad uses words like a brain surgeon uses a scalpel. This is a great story and if you have ever been to sea it is a must read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking for another good book?
