About this eBook

Author Conrad, Joseph, 1857-1924
Title Lord Jim
Credits Produced by Forrest Wasserman and David Widger
Summary “Lord Jim” by Joseph Conrad is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the complex themes of honor, bravery, and the consequences of personal failure, centering around the protagonist Jim, a young man who yearns for adventure and respect but grapples with a moment of cowardice that haunts his life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jim, a physically impressive young man working as a water-clerk in various Eastern ports. His life is described through his ambitions and dreams of grandeur, influenced by romantic literature about the sea. However, he is overshadowed by his past actions which he desperately tries to escape as he moves from port to port. The opening vividly illustrates his character, his longing for adventure, and hints at a pivotal incident that will profoundly affect his existence. As we witness his interactions and the world around him, the seeds of his internal conflict about courage and reputation are sown, setting the stage for the complex dilemmas he will face.
