This is a classic story of one man's tragic failure and eventual redemption, told under the circumstances of high adventure at the margins of the known world.
But when the Patna,on a night crossing of the Arabian Sea,collides with a mysterious obstacle,Jim panics and jumps free.This single act of cowardice drives him to self-enforced exile as a white trader in the remote tropical outpost of Patusan.
Jim'a search for redemption and his dramatic bid to vindicate his romantic ideals are the stuff of a magnificently vivd and subtle novel.With Heart of Darkness,Nostromo and The Secret Agent,Lord Jim ranks among Joseph Conrad's masterpieces.
