About this ebook

"Lord Jim", chef-d’œuvre du célèbre auteur britannique Joseph Conrad, a été publié en 1900. 

Un jeune officier de marine, le lieutenant Jim, embarque comme second à bord d'un vieux cargo «bon pour la ferraille», le Patna, pour convoyer un groupe de pèlerins vers La Mecque. Dans le brouillard, le Patna heurte une épave. En inspectant la coque, Jim découvre un début de voie d'eau. Pris par la peur, Le capitaine et Jim abandonnent le navire et ses passagers. Mais le Patna ne coule pas... L'attitude de Jim a déclenché un scandale et il est radié à vie. Rongé par le remords, lui qui ne rêvait que de gloire et d'honneur, erre dans les ports, acceptant les travaux les plus humiliants. Une seconde chance lui est cependant offerte par le négociant Stein qui lui confie une mission en Malaisie...

Author

Joseph Conrad

Polish author Joseph Conrad is considered to be one of the greatest English-language novelists, a remarkable achievement considering English was not his first language. Conrad’s literary works often featured a nautical setting, reflecting the influences of his early career in the Merchant Navy, and his depictions of the struggles of the human spirit in a cold, indifferent world are best exemplified in such seminal works as Heart of Darkness, Lord JimM, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Regarded as a forerunner of modernist literature, Conrad’s writing style and characters have influenced such distinguished writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, William S. Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, and George Orwell, among many others. Many of Conrad’s novels have been adapted for film, most notably Heart of Darkness, which served as the inspiration and foundation for Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
