Lord Jim -- Author's note -- Note on sources -- Chronology of events in Lord Jim -- Explanatory notes -- Glossary of foreign and colloquial terms -- Glossary of nautical terms.
Lord Jim tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman who is disgraced by a single act of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a merchant-ship sailing from an eastern port. His life is blighted; an isolated scandal assumes horrifying proportions. An older man, Marlow, befriends Jim, and helps to establish him in Patusan, a remote Malay settlement. There he achieves a kind of peace, but his courage is put to the test once more.
