Set in the Malay Archipelago, the novel not only provides a gripping account of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East. Its themes also challenge the conventions of nineteenth-century adventure fiction, confirming Conrad's place in literature as one of the first 'modernists' of English letters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLord Jim explores the dilemmas of conscience, of moral isolation, of loyalty and betrayal confronting a sensitive individual whose romantic quest for an honourable ideal are tested to the limit. In this novel, Conrad draws on his background as Polish emigré, as well as his first-hand experience as a seaman, to experiment radically with the presentation of human frailty and doubt in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48131053584639,"sku":"*R0050543*","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/23159643482847.jpg?v=1770015340","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/lord-jim","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
