He ran from disgrace. Can he ever reclaim his honor?
In Lord Jim, Joseph Conrad explores the psychological torment of a man who makes one catastrophic mistake and spends the rest of his life trying to redeem it. When young seaman Jim abandons a sinking ship and its passengers, he is publicly disgraced. Fleeing from the shame, he takes refuge in the remote East Indies—only to face another chance to prove his courage.
Set in exotic ports and deep jungles, this gripping novel weaves guilt, heroism, and morality into a haunting tale of self-judgment and spiritual struggle. As Jim grapples with his past, Lord Jim asks timeless questions about character, redemption, and the price of honor.
