    About Lord Jim

    Lord Jim is a classic story of one man’s tragic failure and eventual redemption, told under the circumstances of high adventure at the margins of the known world which made Conrad’s work so immediately popular. But it is also the book in which its author, through a brilliant adaptation of his stylistic apparatus to his obsessive moral, psychological and political concerns, laid the groundwork for the modern novel as we know it.

    With An Introduction By Norman Sherry

    An expert on the works of Joseph Conrad, Professor Norman Sherry is the author of Conrad’s Eastern World, Conrad’s Western World and Conrad and His World. He is also the editor of Conrad: The Critical Heritage, and the official biographer of Graham Greene.

    About Lord Jim

    Jim, a young, idealistic dreamer of heroic deeds, is chief mate on board the Patna. When it starts to sink and the officers decide to jump ship, Jim joins them somewhat involuntarily. He faces a board of inquiry that strips him of his papers for violating the code of conduct – but no court can equal the punishment Jim inflicts on himself for his cowardice. His search for the chance to redeem himself takes him to a remote trading station, where he creates well-being among chaos and wins the affection of the people, who call him Lord Jim. But is this enough to exorcise the ghosts of his past? This novel, presented here in its entirety, was first published in 1900.
