Lord Jim (forst published in 1900) is the tory of a young ship's officer who is disgraced when, in a moment of apparent danger, he believes that his ship is sinking and leaves the passengers to their fate. He slowly recovers but the past is always waiting to catch up with him. The powerful narrative is enriched by Conarad's fascination with Jim's psychological state and by his exploration of the meaning of such concepts as' honour' and 'duty'. Conrad's strong story-line, his subtle characterisation, and his ability to penetrate into the darkest corners of man's heart, make this one of the very great novels.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was born into a Polish family who lived in the Ukraine. At the age of sixteen he went to sea, and later joined the British Merchant Navy, becoming a Master Mariner and a British citizen in 1886. After twenty years at sea, he came to live in England, where he wrote many famous novels, including Lord Jim, Nostromo, Heart of Darkness, and The Secret Agent.
