Lord Jim

Lord Jim

Novel 1900 by Joseph Conrad. Jim is a young merchant seaman who betrays his ideals by succumbing to a moment of panic, deserting his ship's passengers in a crisis. He spends the rest of his life trying to make up for this lapse, becoming an influence for peace and good order in a remote Malayan community. Conrad characteristically combines an adventure story with a compelling enquiry into the nature of moral choice.
