Lord Jim

Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. First published in 1900, Lord Jim established Conrad as one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century. Haunted by the memory of a moment of lost nerve during a disastrous voyage, Jim submits to condemnation by a Court of Inquiry. In the wake of his disgrace he travels to the exotic region of Patusan.
