Book excerpt: 'A murmur of dismay and horror ran through the crowd at the sight of that familiar token. The old nakhoda stared at it, and suddenly let out one great fierce cry, deep from the chest, a roar of pain and fury, as mighty as the bellow of a wounded bull, bringing great fear into men's hearts, by the magnitude of his anger and his sorrow' Jim, first mate on board the Patna, is a simple and sensitive young man who dreams of becoming a hero. But when the Patna threatens to sink, Jim takes the cowardly way out and jumps clear. His unbearable guilt and shame at having violated the unwritten moral code of the sea lead him to become an exile in a remote Malay state. There he fashions a new identity for himself as the benevolent ruler of an exotic land - until his idyll is interrupted. Rich, moving and delicately crafted, Lord Jim is a compelling meditation on identity, guilt and lost honour.

Book excerpt: When Lord Jim first appeared in 1900, many took Joseph Conrad to task for couching an entire novel in the form of an extended conversation--a ripping good yarn, if you like. (One critic in The Academy complained that the narrator "was telling that after-dinner story to his companions for eleven solid hours.") Conrad defended his method, insisting that people really do talk for that long, and listen as well. In fact his chatty masterwork requires no defense--it offers up not only linguistic pleasures but a timeless exploration of morality. The eponymous Jim is a young, good-looking, genial, and naive water-clerk on the Patna, a cargo ship plying Asian waters. He is, we are told, "the kind of fellow you would, on the strength of his looks, leave in charge of the deck." He also harbors romantic fantasies of adventure and heroism--which are promptly scuttled 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. The Patna, however, manages to stay afloat. The foundering vessel is towed into port--and since the officers have strategically vanished, Jim is left to stand trial for abandoning the ship and its 800 passengers.

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 Andronum.

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.

Book excerpt: Set in the Malay Archipelago, the novel not only provides a gripping account of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East. Its themes also challenge the conventions of nineteenth-century adventure fiction, confirming Conrad s place in literature as one of the first modernists of English letters. Lord Jim explores the dilemmas of conscience, of moral isolation, of loyalty and betrayal confronting a sensitive individual whose romantic quest for an honourable ideal are tested to the limit.
