Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Typhoon (1902) is a story written by Joseph Conrad which is based on the past experience of the author as a seaman. It tells the story of Thomas MacWhirr, a grouchy captain who has to sail the SS Nan-Shan, a steamer full of chinese slaves, to the bay of Fuzhou. However, the boat must get through a typhoon in order to reach its destination, according to MacWhirr's first mate Jukes.According to Conrad, the story isn't about the typhoon itself, but how it affects the characters.

Grumpy Bear: MacWhirr. In contrast to the rest of his crew, he stands out for being apathic and bitter at times.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The typhoon is the main plot point of the story, even though the most important part of the story is how the characters react to the typhoon's wrath.

Inspired by...: Joseph Conrad's past experience as a seaman. Characters such as MacWhirr are also based on actual people that Conrad knew.
