Joseph Conrad: Lord Jim

First published in 1900, Lord Jim established Conrad

as one of the great storytellers of the twentieth

century. 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. In this novel,

Conrad draws on his background as Polish emigre,

as well as his first-hand experience as a seaman, to

experiment radically with the presentation of

human frailty and doubt in the modern world.
