Description
First published in 1900, Lord Jim is a gripping tale of maritime adventure and romance set in the Malay Archipelago. Joseph Conrad's novel challenges the conventions of nineteenth-century adventure fiction with its exploration of the dilemmas of conscience, moral isolation, loyalty, and betrayal.
The story follows a sensitive individual whose romantic quest for an honourable ideal are tested to the limit. Drawing on his background as a Polish emigré and first-hand experience as a seaman, Conrad experiments radically with the presentation of human frailty and doubt in the modern world.
