Details
Synopsis
LORD JIM, Conrad's powerful tale of an idealistic young man and the moment of weakness that determines the rest of his life, explores the nature of innocence, courage, and heroism. It includes an episode from Conrad's own life, in which he was injured by a falling spar while serving as a first mate on the "Highland Forest", and hospitalized in Singapore.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "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."
Industry Reviews
"However one may weary of the slippery elusiveness of the psychic conclusions, or may rebel against the ultimate tragedy of the book, there are compensations of depth and beauty upon every page. Never were Mr. Conrad's felicity of phrase and charm of atmosphere more obvious than in 'Lord Jim.' His danger is that, like Mr. James, he may become entangled in his own supreme literary art, and may sacrifice simplicity and directness of purpose to his very perfection of method. As it stands, however, a book of the rare quality of 'Lord Jim' is something to receive with gratitude and joy, and a sense of distinction conferred on the readers of romance."
Wood
"[A] book of the rare literary quality of LORD JIM is something to receive with gratitude and joy, and with a sense of a distinction conferred upon the readers of romance."
