LORD JIM

By JOSEPH CONRAD

What if one moment of cowardice defined the rest of your life? In Joseph Conrad's masterful psychological novel, LORD JIM, a promising young chief mate, Jim, leaps from his seemingly sinking ship, the *Patna*, abandoning hundreds of Muslim pilgrims. But the ship doesn't sink. Now branded an outcast and consumed by self-hatred, Jim wanders the ports of the Far East, constantly running from his past. His quest for redemption leads him to the remote island of Patusan, where he finds a chance to become a hero—Tuan Jim, their respected leader. Can Jim finally conquer the shadow of his past and find true courage, or will his fate be sealed by one final, inescapable failure? Explore themes of honor, responsibility, and the timeless struggle for redemption in this classic of psychological realism. First published in 1900.
