The natives of Patusan in the Far East worship the bold young Englishman by the name of Lord Jim, but he despises himself. Ever since he committed an impulsive act of cowardice, Jim has been tortured by his conscience, and he has outrun scandal only by moving farther and farther east. It is there, in remote Patusan, that he finds the will to cease sacrificing himself on the altar of conscience, become part of life again, and follow his star to the end, wherever it might lead...\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Conrad\u003c\/b\u003e (originally Józef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski) was born in the Ukraine in 1857 and grew up under Tsarist autocracy.  His parents, ardent Polish patriots, died when he was a child, following their exile for anti-Russian activities, and he came under the protection of his tradition-conscious uncle, Thaddeus Bobrowski, who watched over him for the next twenty-five years.  In 1874 Bobrowski conceded to his nephew's passionate desire to go to sea, and Conrad travelled to Marseilles, where he served in French merchant vessels before joining a British ship in 1878 as an apprentice.  In 1886 he obtained British nationality and his Master's certificate in the British Merchant Service.  Eight years later he left the sea to devote himself to writing, publishing his first novel, \u003cb\u003eAlmayer's Folly\u003c\/b\u003e, in 1895.  The following year he married Jessie George and eventually settled in Kent, where he produced within fifteen years such modern classics as \u003cb\u003eYouth\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eLord Jim\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eTyphoon\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eNostromo\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Secret Agent\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eUnder Western Eyes\u003c\/b\u003e.  He continued to write until his death in 1924.  Today Conrad is generally regarded as one of the greatest writers of fiction in English—his third language.  He once described himself as being concerned 'with the ideal value of things, events and people'; in the Preface to \u003cb\u003eThe Nigger of the 'Narcissus'\u003c\/b\u003e he defined his task as 'by the power of the written word ... before all, to make you see'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                            \n                            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45388708315297,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780451531278","price":6.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780451531278.jpg?v=1763489166","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/lord-jim-paperback-by-joseph-conrad-1","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
