About this book
Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim follows the events that determine the fate of Jim, a young British seaman. Jim becomes first mate on the Patna, a ship full of pilgrims travelling to Mecca for the hajj. When the ship begins taking in water and disaster is sure to follow, Jim joins his captain and other crewmembers in abandoning the ship and its passengers. The crew is saved by a French ship a few days later and soon learns that the Patna and its passengers were also rescued. The crew’s reprehensible actions are exposed. As a trial ensues, Jim must come to terms with his past.
Enter Marlow, sea captain and narrator of Lord Jim as well as three of Conrad’s other works (Heart of Darkness, Youth, and Chance). In spite of Jim’s moral unsoundness, Marlow befriends him during the trial and learns the full story of the Patna, which he relates to the reader.
The primary event of Lord Jim may have been based in part on an actual abandonment of a ship. On July 17, 1880, S.S. Jeddah sailed for Penang and Jeddah from Singapore with 778 men, 147 women, and 67 children on board. When the vessel began to leak, the crew abandoned the passengers, who were also travelling to Mecca for the hajj. On August 8, 1880, a French steamship found Jeddah, rescuing all of the pilgrims. An official inquiry followed, as it does in the novel.
Lord Jim is ranked 85th on Modern Library’s “100 Best” English-language novels of the 20th century. The novel has been adapted for film twice: Lord Jim (1925), directed by Victor Fleming, and Lord Jim (1965), directed by Richard Brooks and starring Peter O'Toole.
First Edition Identification
Lord Jim was originally published as a serial in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900. William Blackwood & Sons published the first novel form of Lord Jim in the UK in 1900. Bound in pale green cloth, first editions state “1900” as the publication date on the title page with no additional printings listed. Within the 451 pages of first editions are multiple points of issue: on page 77, line 5, “any rate” is printed as one word; on page 226, “keep” is missing after “can” and “cure” should be “cured;” and on page 319, “his” is not aligned with the other words. First published in a limited print run of 2,105 copies, signed first editions of Lord Jim have sold for upwards of $9,000.
