Lord Jim (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161440348)

Lord Jim is a novel written by Joseph Conrad and published in 1900. The story follows the life of Jim, a young British sailor who is haunted by a moment of cowardice during a crisis on board his ship. The incident causes him to lose his reputation and become an outcast in the maritime world. Jim's journey takes him to various places, including the exotic islands of the South Pacific and the bustling ports of the Far East. Along the way, he tries to redeem himself and regain his honor by taking on various challenges and responsibilities. The novel explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the search for identity. It also delves into the complexities of colonialism and imperialism, as Jim struggles to navigate the power dynamics between the Western world and the indigenous people he encounters. Lord Jim is considered one of Conrad's greatest works and a classic of English literature. It has been adapted into several films and has influenced numerous other works of fiction.He was an inch, perhaps two, under six feet, powerfully built, and he advanced straight at you with a slight stoop of the shoulders, head forward, and a fixed from-under stare which made you think of a charging bull. His voice was deep, loud, and his manner displayed a kind of dogged self-assertion which had nothing aggressive in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
