An adventure novel with deep psychological insights, Lord Jim vividly draws on Conrad's first-hand experience in the Far East and as a ship officer. The master story teller captures the enthralling life of seamen and their life and agony, dwelling on the true story of Jim, the chief mate on the poorly-crewed Patna, a ship carrying pilgrims in the Eastern Seas. Joseph Conrad is the well-known author of Nigger of Narcissus (1897), Lord Jim (1900), Heart of Darkness and The End of the Tether (1902), Typhoon (1903), Nostromo (1904), Under Western Eyes (1911), Chance (1913) and Shadow-Line (1917).
