Book Review of Lord Jim

Lord Jim
Lord Jim
Author: Joseph Conrad
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 506 more book reviews


A masterful novel about a man's lifelong struggle to atone for a single act of cowardice. This novel examines the corrosive property of moral failure and the deep human need for self- esteem- a need that is finally satisfied here by the most existential act of self destruction.
