"My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the
written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, before
all, to make you see."
--- Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim
Lord Jim is a novel by Joseph Conrad originally published as a
serial in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900.
An early and primary event is the abandonment of a ship in
distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. He is
publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later
attempts at coming to terms with his past.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Lord Jim No. 85 on its list of
the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
