About the book

Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim follows a young seaman whose life is transformed by a moment of cowardice. Serving aboard the Patna, Jim abandons what he believes to be a sinking ship carrying hundreds of passengers, only to discover that the vessel does not sink. Haunted by shame and determined to rebuild his honour, Jim travels through Southeast Asia and eventually becomes a respected leader in a remote community. Conrad uses his story to explore guilt, idealism, reputation and the difficult question of whether a person can escape the consequences of a single moral failure.
