Jim, the first mate aboard the Patna, dreams youthful dreams of heroism and of the daring act that will prove his courage. But when the Patna, on a night crossing of the Arabian Sea, collides with a mysterious obstacle, Jim panics and jumps free.

With Heart of Darkness, Nostromo and The Secret Agent, Lord Jim ranks among Joseph Conrad"s masterpieces.
