Along the way, he meets a cast of characters who challenge his beliefs and test his resolve.Lord Jim is a complex and nuanced novel that explores the complexities of human nature and the struggle for redemption. It is considered one of Conrad’s greatest works and a classic of English literature.He was an inch, perhaps two, under six feet, powerfully built, and he advanced straight at you with a slight stoop of the shoulders, head forward, and a fixed from-under stare which made you think of a charging bull. His voice was deep, loud, and his manner displayed a kind of dogged self-assertion which had nothing aggressive in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
