Lord Jim tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman--"as
unflinching as a hero in a book"--who is disgraced by a single act
of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a
merchant-ship sailing from an eastern port. His life is ruined: an
isolated scandal has assumed horrifying proportions. But, then he
is befriended by an older man named Marlow who helps to establish
him in exotic Patusan, a remote Malay settlement where his courage
is put to the test once more. Lord Jim is a book about courage and
cowardice, self-knowledge and personal growth. It is one of the
most profound and rewarding psychological novels in English. Set in
the context of social change and colonial expansion in late
Victorian England, it embodies in Jim the values and turmoil of a
fading empire. This new edition uses the first English edition text
and includes a new introduction and notes by leading Conrad scholar
Jacques Berthoud, glossaries, and an appendix on Conrad's sources
and reading.
