Lord Jim

‘Lord Jim’ is a novel by Joseph Conrad, originally published as a serial in Blackwood’s Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900. Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works contain elements of 19th-century realism. This immortal novel of the sea tells the story of a British sailor haunted by a single youthful act of cowardly betrayal. To the white men in Bombay, Calcutta, and Rangoon, Jim is a man of mystery. To the primitive natives deep in the Malayan jungle, he is a god gifted with supernatural powers. To the beautiful half-caste girl who flees to his hut for protection, he is a lord to be feared and loved. The novel is Conrad’s classic portrait of a man’s guilt, his search for forgiveness, and his final, tragic redemption. It is a work of enduring value and one of the world’s great masterpieces.
