Lord Jim

Joseph Conrad's *Lord Jim* plunges into the moral abyss when the titular young British seaman, Jim, abandons his post on the distressed steamer *Patna*. This single act of cowardice shatters his reputation and sets him adrift in a world where his past constantly haunts him. Through the compassionate but scrutinizing eyes of Captain Marlow, Jim attempts to rebuild his life and honor in the remote South Seas village of Patusan, where he earns the respect, and the moniker, "Lord Jim." Yet, the shadow of his original sin looms large, threatening to reclaim him even in his hard-won paradise.
