Book excerpt: Jim, a young British seaman, becomes first mate on the Patna, a ship full of pilgrims travelling to Mecca for the hajj. When the ship starts rapidly taking on water and disaster seems imminent, Jim joins his captain and other crew members in abandoning the ship and its passengers. A few days later, they are picked up by a British ship. However, the Patna and its passengers are later also saved, and the reprehensible actions of the crew are exposed. The other participants evade the judicial court of inquiry, leaving Jim to the court alone. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with his past. The novel is counted as one of 100 best books of the 20th century. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel "Lord Jim" is recognized as Joseph Conrad's best work. But what does the author think? Here is a quote from his preface to one of the editions of the novel: " I have been asked at times whether this was not the book of mine I liked best. I am a great foe to favouritism in public life, in private life, and even in the delicate relationship of an author to his works. As a matter of principle I will have no favourites; but I don't go so far as to feel grieved and annoyed by the preference some people give to my Lord Jim''.Pretty illustrations provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.Illustrated by Vladislav Trotsenko

Download or read book Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim written by Joseph Conrad and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim, first published in England in 1900, has long been acknowledged as a very difficult book for readers to understand, especially on the first read. However, those who have taken the time to understand the book acknowledge that the effort is worth it. Lord Jim, which Conrad began as a short sketch, grew into a novel that is widely recognized for its modernism-its tendency to buck the conventional narrative trends of its day. The most obvious technique that Conrad used was a shifting form of narration, in which the reader hears a tale first from one narrator, then another, and finally from several disparate accounts.

Download or read book Lord Jim written by Joseph Conrad and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad. 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 in the story is the abandonment of a passenger ship in distress by its crew, including a young British seaman named Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with himself and his past. When this novel first appeared in book form a notion got about that I had been bolted away with. Some reviewers maintained that the work starting as a short story had got beyond the writer's control. One or two discovered internal evidence of the fact, which seemed to amuse them. They pointed out the limitations of the narrative form. They argued that no man could have been expected to talk all that time, and other men to listen so long. It was not, they said, very credible. After thinking it over for something like sixteen years, I am not so sure about that. Men have been known, both in the tropics and in the temperate zone, to sit up half the night 'swapping yarns'. This, however, is but one yarn, yet with interruptions affording some measure of relief; and in regard to the listeners' endurance, the postulate must be accepted that the story was interesting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HEART OF DARKNESS * AN OUTPOST OF PROGRESS * KARAIN * YOUTH The finest of all Conrad's tales, 'Heart of Darkness' is set in an atmosphere of mystery and menace, and tells of Marlow's perilous journey up the Congo River to relieve his employer's agent, the renowned and formidable Mr Kurtz. What he sees on his journey, and his eventual encounter with Kurtz, horrify and perplex him, and call into question the very bases of civilization and human nature. Endlessly reinterpreted by critics and adapted for film, radio, and television, the story shows Conrad at his most intense and sophisticated. The other three tales in this volume depict corruption and obsession, and question racial assumptions. Set in the exotic surroundings of Africa, Malaysia. and the east, they variously appraise the glamour, folly, and rapacity of imperial adventure. This revised edition uses the English first edition texts and has a new chronology and bibliography. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book excerpt: “Enlightening, compassionate, superb” —John Le Carré Winner of the 2018 Cundhill History Prize A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017 One of the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2017 A visionary exploration of the life and times of Joseph Conrad, his turbulent age of globalization and our own, from one of the most exciting young historians writing today Migration, terrorism, the tensions between global capitalism and nationalism, and a communications revolution: these forces shaped Joseph Conrad’s destiny at the dawn of the twentieth century. In this brilliant new interpretation of one of the great voices in modern literature, Maya Jasanoff reveals Conrad as a prophet of globalization. As an immigrant from Poland to England, and in travels from Malaya to Congo to the Caribbean, Conrad navigated an interconnected world, and captured it in a literary oeuvre of extraordinary depth. His life story delivers a history of globalization from the inside out, and reflects powerfully on the aspirations and challenges of the modern world. Joseph Conrad was born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, to Polish parents in the Russian Empire. At sixteen he left the landlocked heart of Europe to become a sailor, and for the next twenty years travelled the world’s oceans before settling permanently in England as an author. He saw the surging, competitive "new imperialism" that planted a flag in almost every populated part of the globe. He got a close look, too, at the places “beyond the end of telegraph cables and mail-boat lines,” and the hypocrisy of the west’s most cherished ideals. In a compelling blend of history, biography, and travelogue, Maya Jasanoff follows Conrad’s routes and the stories of his four greatest works—The Secret Agent, Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo. Genre-bending, intellectually thrilling, and deeply humane, The Dawn Watch embarks on a spell-binding expedition into the dark heart of Conrad’s world—and through it to our own.

Book excerpt: Joseph Conrad's literary prowess reaches its zenith in "Lord Jim," an extraordinary novel that beckons readers into the turbulent seas of human morality, redemption, and the elusive quest for honor. Set against a backdrop of seafaring adventure and the exotic locales of the East, this masterpiece unfolds with a narrative cadence that echoes the ebb and flow of the tides, immersing readers in a story that transcends time. The heart of the novel beats in rhythm with the titular character, Jim, whose journey becomes a metaphor for the complexities of the human soul. Jim's early promise as a young British officer is shattered by a moment of perceived cowardice that haunts him, propelling him into a labyrinth of self-discovery and redemption. Conrad's narrative unfolds like the turning of a ship's wheel, revealing the intricate layers of Jim's character and the universal struggle to reconcile one's actions with one's ideals. The allure of "Lord Jim" lies not only in its seafaring adventures but in Conrad's ability to navigate the treacherous waters of the human psyche. As readers embark on Jim's odyssey, they confront questions of honor, morality, and the limits of human endurance. Conrad's prose, rich and evocative, transforms the ship's deck into a stage where the drama of existential dilemmas unfolds with poetic resonance. The novel is a tapestry woven with vivid characters, each a testament to Conrad's keen understanding of the human condition. From the mysterious Mr. Marlow, the narrator and witness to Jim's tale, to the enigmatic sea captain, Gentleman Brown, each character contributes to the novel's exploration of the moral ambiguities that lie beneath the surface of human actions. As Jim journeys through the exotic landscapes of Southeast Asia, Conrad paints a vivid tableau of the colonial era, capturing the clash of cultures and the impact of Western imperialism on distant shores. The narrative becomes a vessel for exploring themes of identity, redemption, and the profound consequences of a single, fateful choice. Conrad's storytelling prowess is evident in the novel's structure, as he employs a framing device that adds layers of complexity to the narrative. Through Mr. Marlow's perspective, the reader becomes both a participant and an observer, drawn into Jim's story as if caught in the currents of a literary sea. "Lord Jim" is a novel that resonates across time, its themes echoing through the corridors of literature and philosophy. It invites readers to embark on a transformative journey, challenging them to grapple with the eternal questions of human fallibility and the pursuit of integrity. In the end, Conrad's magnum opus is not merely a tale of high seas and exotic locales; it is an exploration of the human spirit navigating the vast oceans of honor, morality, and the relentless pursuit of redemption.
