Jim é um jovem recém-contratado como imediato de um navio que, após a embarcação dar indícios de que vai afundar, decide abandoná-la junto com o capitão e o restante da tripulação, deixando os passageiros por sua própria conta. Assim como em outras obras de Joseph Conrad — por exemplo, O coração das trevas —, a história é contada pelo marinheiro Charles Marlow, que teria conhecido Jim no momento do julgamento pelo crime cometido no navio. Jim fora o único a não fugir de tal julgamento, tomado pela culpa, e, embora Marlow não concorde com ele, decide ajudá-lo. Em Lord Jim, o leitor acompanha a trajetória do protagonista, perseguido pelos próprios demônios, em um enredo nebuloso e repleto de reflexões acerca da existência humana. Esta edição conta com a tradução de Marcos Santarrita e prefácio inédito de Braulio Tavares.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad, alias Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, was born in Ukraine in 1857, in the midst of the autocracy of the Tsars. The son of a Polish couple in exile, he was orphaned at an early age. He is raised and educated by his uncle, who is responsible for what would be the central passion of his life: the sea. He travelled to Marseille in 1874, serving aboard French merchant ships before finally joining the crew of an English ship in 1878. In 1886 he obtained British nationality and a Master's Certificate in the British Mercantile Service. Eight years later he left the sea to dedicate himself to writing, publishing his first novel - 'Almayer's Folly', in 1895. He continued to write and publish until his death in 1924. Conrad is the author, among other works, of Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), The Secret Agent (1907), Under Western Eyes (1911), Heart of Darkness, Heart of Darkness (1902). He is now considered one of the greatest writers of fiction in English, his third language.
