From his many years on the high seas as a mariner, mate, and captain, Joseph Conrad created unique works, including Heart of Darkness, that have left an indelible mark on world literature. First published in 1899, his haunting novel Lord Jim is both a riveting sea adventure and a fascinating portrait of a unique outcast from civilization.

When Jim, a young merchant seaman, joins a ship carrying Muslims to Mecca, he's flush with heroic daydreams. But after only a few days aboard, the Patna hits something in the night and begins to take on water.

"Lord Jim" is a novel by Joseph Conrad originally published as a serial in "Blackwood's Magazine" from October 1899 to November 1900. An early and primary event is the abandonment of a ship in distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with his past. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked "Lord Jim" #85 on its list of the 100 best English language novels of the 20th century.

Il romanzo si apre con il viaggio del giovane ufficiale in seconda Jim su un vascello, il Patna. Lo scontro con un relitto fa credere che la nave sia in procinto di affondare e Jim la abbandona con sopra i passeggeri. Jim, che nel fondo è un idealista, si pente subito del gesto vile, frutto di un atto impulsivo dettato dall'orrore del momento, ma anche un'inchiesta sancirà la sua colpa. Nel tentativo di rifarsi una vita, va in giro per il mondo, sfuggendo a se stesso, cercando l'anonimato.

Pubblicato a puntate dal 1899 al 1900, fu riconosciuto come un capolavoro mondiale della letteratura. Il romanzo è complesso nella sua narrazione: Lord Jim, un eroe definito "romantico" da Marlow, che è il narratore della storia (come in altri romanzi di Conrad, si tratta di una storia nella storia), partito come un adolescente in cerca di avventure, viene presto abbattuto dalla vita e costretto spietatamente a conoscere una sua debolezza.

Lord Jim is considered by many to be one of the greatest novels published in the 20th century. At its core, Lord Jim is a story of conscience and what can happen if one forgets one's honor and turns one's back on one's fellow man.

Conrad’s Lord Jim is the iconic story of a romantic young man and his struggle with guilt and self-loathing. The novel begins with Jim’s earlier life as a ship’s officer. He and the other crew members abandon an imperiled vessel and its passengers after a mysterious collision reveals a dangerous bulge below the water line. But the ship does not sink and Jim survives to face an official inquiry. He is stripped of his license and faces universal scorn and the reality of his own guilt.

Joseph Conrad was a native of Poland, yet many critics regard him as one of the greatest English novelists. This is all the more remarkable, since he did not learn to speak English fluently until he was in his 20s. He became a naturalized British citizen in 1886. He wrote many books and stories, but the two that remain most popluar are Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. Lord Jim is both an adventure story and a story of tragedy and repentence.

The story tells of Jim, a young, good-looking, genial, and naive water-clerk on the Patna, a cargo ship plying Asian waters. One night, when the ship collides with an obstacle and begins to sink, acting on impulse, Jim jumps overboard and lands in a lifeboat, which happens to be bearing the unscrupulous captain and his cohorts away from the disaster.

This work set the style for a whole class of literature, a work that the critic Morton Dauwen Zabel calls an example of Conrad's "central theme...the grip of circumstances that enforce self-discovery and its cognate, the discovery of reality and truth...." It is a novel about a man's lifelong efforts to atone for an act of instinctive cowardice.

"Lord Jim" to najwyżej dziś ceniona powieść Conrada, choć wcześniej dostrzegli ją czytelnicy niż krytycy. Najbardziej uderza w tej historii wielość narratorów i związana z tym zmienność punktów widzenia oraz rozmaitość perspektyw czasowych. Wyjątkowość "Lorda Jima" wynika również z faktu, że wywodzi się z różnych rodzajów literatury. Poznajemy losy młodego Anglika, najpierw jako oficera marynarki handlowej, potem pracującego w portach południowo-wschodniej Azji, by wreszcie zdobyć rolę przywódcy na Borneo.
