Lord Jim - Hardcover

About the book: "Lord Jim" by Joseph Conrad follows the life of Jim, a young British seaman condemned for abandoning a ship in distress. Publicly censured, Jim grapples with guilt and seeks redemption. In his journey, he encounters Marlow, a sea captain, who becomes both mentor and observer of Jim's struggles. The plot shifts to the remote village of Patusan, where Jim, known as "Tuan Jim" or Lord Jim, strives to redeem himself. Despite his efforts, tragedy ensues when a marauding captain, Gentleman Brown, disrupts Patusan. The story explores themes of honor, guilt, and the quest for redemption against a vivid backdrop of maritime and colonial settings. About the Author: Joseph Conrad (1857–1924), born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, was a Polish-British novelist renowned for his English-language literary mastery. Despite learning English in his twenties, Conrad became a prose stylist, infusing non-English sensibilities into literature. His works, often set in nautical environments, explore human crises amid an indifferent world. Conrad, considered a literary impressionist and early modernist, crafted anti-heroic characters like in "Lord Jim," influencing numerous authors. His narratives, reflecting European-dominated themes like imperialism, drew from his experiences in Polish history and the merchant navies.
