Lord Jim By Joseph Conrad in which an early and primary event of the story is the abandonment of a ship in distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. Against the code of seamen, the captain, Jim, and the crew only think about their safety and abandon ship. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with himself and his past.

Lord Jim may have been based in part on true events. Although Conrad never confirmed this assertion, similarities to real life events appear too strong to be dismissed as mere coincidence. The novel is in two main parts: firstly Jim's lapse aboard the Patna and his consequent fall, and secondly, an adventure story about Jim's rise and the tale's denouement amongst the people of Patusan - set in the Indonesian archipelago.

Lord Jim, published in 1900, is one of Joseph Conrad's most popular novels. The action centers around the life and adventures of the title character, a young British seaman who must come to terms with his past. The book is also notable for featuring the character Marlow, a sea captain who also appears in Conrad's classic novella Heart of Darkness. Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer who is considered to be one of the greatest authors in English literature. Conrad's books contain much of the elements seen in 19th-century realism but his modernistic writing also influenced many great authors that followed including Faulkner, Hemingway, and Orwell. Conrad wrote classics in many different genres and many of his works were based off his experiences at sea as a British merchant marine.

Jim goes to sea full of dreams of heroism and boyish adventure. But, under pressure, his own conduct falls far below the ideal he has set himself. Condemned even more by himself than by his fellow men, Jim leaves the world and seeks his redemption in the remote forests of Patusan. It is there he finds fame, love, and success. It is there also that he faces the final and biggest test of his courage and faith, and comes through it in tragic triumph. First published in book form in 1900, Lord Jim has been acclaimed as one of Conrad's finest works. It combines adventure and the romance of the East in a blend which cannot fail to capture the imagination.

Jim is a young and naive clerk on a cargo ship plying Asian waters. He harbors romantic fantasies of adventure and heroism which are promptly scuttled one night when the ship collides with an obstacle and begins to sink. Stripped of his seaman's license, convinced of his own cowardice, Jim sets out on a tragic and transcendent search for redemption.

Lord Jim is a classic story of one man's tragic failure and eventual redemption, told under the circumstances of high adventure at the margins of the known world which made Conrad's work so immediately popular. But it is also the book in which its author, through a brilliant adaptation of his stylistic apparatus to his obsessive moral, psychological and political concerns, laid the groundwork for the modern novel as we know it.
