In a split-second impulse of self-preservation, a young ship's officer abandons his imperiled vessel and its passengers, and survives to face the scorn of the world and his own guilt and need for atonement. First published in 1900, Lord Jim is universally regarded as one of the greatest novels of this century. Conrad's profound moral consciousness and skillful narrative technique are fully evident in this superb tale that is a staple of high school and college literature courses. Students and teachers alike will appreciate this inexpensive, unabridged edition.
A young ship's officer abandons his imperiled vessel and its passengers only to survive and face scorn, his own guilt, and the need for atonement. Conrad's central message about the consequences of straying from personal responsibility is as powerful today as it was nearly a 100 years ago.
