Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad Lord Jim is a novel written in beautifully crafted English by a man for whom English was a third language. It is a story of tragedy, but also of redemption. With inexorable narrative logic, Conrad demonstrates the devastating impact a momentary decision can have on an entire human life, and how easily a thoroughly decent person may be led to make a decision so fatefully wrong. Conrad's tale is consummated when he has life test Jim once again, thereby affording a chance for self-redemption. This time Jim is not found wanting and displays the moral stature that really had always been his. But for this he must pay a terrible price. -- Charles Nussbaum |
