Lord Jim is a novel by Joseph Conrad that follows the story of a young British
seaman named Jim. After abandoning a passenger ship in distress, Jim is
publicly censured and seeks redemption and acceptance. He finds work as a ship
chandler's clerk in the East Indies but constantly leaves when the memory of
the incident catches up with him. Eventually, Jim settles in the fictional
town of Patusan, where he earns the respect of the locals and falls in love
with a woman named Jewel. However, tragedy strikes when a marauding captain
arrives, leading to the death of Jim's friend and ultimately Jim's own
execution. The novel explores themes of potential, redemption, and personal
responsibility. Lord Jim is considered one of Conrad's most romantic and
structurally sophisticated works. It has been ranked as one of the best
English-language novels of the 20th century and has been adapted into various
forms, including comics and films.
