Title: One of Conrad's Finest
Review: Lord Jim is the story of a young ship's officer who makes an inexplicable mistake. Branded a coward and stripped of his license as a sailor, Jim is unable to bear the stigma attached to his life for a brief moment of cowardice. Jim seeks redemption on a small Malay island, only to fail for what one of the characters calls, "...a shred of meaningless honor...". A truly great work of fiction, Lord Jim is linguistically an easier read than other of Conrad's sea works, but is just as deep. A must read.
