This carefully crafted ebook: "Lord Jim (Unabridged Deluxe Edition)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Jim, a young British seaman, becomes first mate on the Patna, a ship full of pilgrims travelling to Mecca for the hajj. When the ship starts rapidly taking on water and disaster seems imminent, Jim joins his captain and other crew members in abandoning the ship and its passengers. A few days later, they are picked up by a British ship. However, the Patna and its passengers are later also saved, and the reprehensible actions of the crew are exposed. The other participants evade the judicial court of inquiry, leaving Jim to the court alone. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with his past. The novel is counted as one of 100 best books of the 20th century. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.

Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in Berdychiv, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, is widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists writing in the English language, despite it having been his third language. Conrad drew upon his experiences in the French and British merchant navies to create compelling seafaring tales and explorations of the human condition. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have earned him a distinguished place in the canon of English literature. Conrad's most notable work, 'Lord Jim (Unabridged Deluxe Edition)', delves deeply into themes of honor, guilt, and redemption. It follows the complex journey of a young British seaman, Jim, who must confront the consequences of a moment of cowardice at sea. Conrad's sophisticated use of narrative perspective, rich descriptive power, and exploration of existential doubt mark this novel as a quintessential piece of literary modernism. The character of Jim is often viewed as a reflection of Conrad's own moral and philosophical concerns. Other significant works by Conrad include 'Heart of Darkness' and 'The Secret Agent', both of which similarly explore the ambiguities of morality and human nature. Conrad's style is noted for its dense descriptive detail, psychological depth, and dark themes. Despite not being a commercial success during his lifetime, Conrad's posthumous reputation has grown steadily, securing his position as a central figure in the history of the novel. Conrad passed away on August 3, 1924, but his work continues to influence writers and thinkers worldwide.
