'He had tumbled from a height he could never scale again…'
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.

Book Description Cartoné. Condition: Muy Bien. Dust Jacket Condition: Muy Bien. 1. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) concebía la aventura al modo homérico: como drama moral. Al igual que Ulises, sus héroes se ven constantemente abocados a hacer elecciones decisivas, a instalarse lo más dignamente posible en universos precarios y a soñar en una difícil redención que suponga la vuelta a las seguridades de partida, al mundo moral compartido por todos los que pueden considerarse ?de los nuestros? Los héroes de Conrad son, quizás, demasiado humanos, y por ello cuentan de antemano con nuestra simpatía. De ahí, también, que difícilmente acabemos de leer historias como la que cuenta Lord Jim (1900) sin sentir que hemos cambiado un poco, que hemos adquirido algunas de las trágicas certezas a las que llega el protagonista. . Conrad, autor también de Heart of Darkness (El corazón de las tinieblas), The Nigger of the ?Narcissus? (El negro del ?Narcissus?, 1987), y Victory (Victoria, 1915) nos presenta en Lord Jim el panorama intenso de un mundo en el que los viejos ideales del deber y el honor entran en conflicto con la cínica moral utilitaria que parece imperar en las sociedades contemporáneas.
