Lord Jim Customer Reviews
:- 5.0 out of 5 stars from RL Smith -- A book readers of true Literature. (with a capital L) Not recommended for penny novel escapists. : Joseph Conrad was one of the best English writers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. His take on the self assigned class of privilege abused by the Europeans at that time is spot on. His description of Jim as a person not able to accept his own imperfections and his self imposed banishment draws the reader to inspect their own values. Bring your dictionary because Conrad's use of the English language of that period is amazing for someone that was not fluent in the language until his mid - twenties. Even though I read the novel in high school (six decades ago) it was like reading something new. In my opinion it takes a mature mind to grasp the intricate nature of the story. I read it with a group and we were provoked into hours of discussion. Hooray for another classical writer of the past century. Refreshing enough to make many of the current writers seem like school children. I am now trapped into reading Conrad's other works. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Don Quixote -- A Man and His Honor : Let me begin by saying that, when it comes to Conrad, I have a bias. I actually keep a picture of him on my writing desk. I have, in a sense, adopted him as a kind of muse, the literary equivalent of a patron saint. Here's an author who managed to achieve immortality by writing in a language that was not his own. Being an ESL writer myself, I draw inspiration from this. I have not read all of Conrad's works; I may not even have read half of them. But all I read by him leaves an indelible mark upon me, and I must confess I am one of those people who are mad about _Heart of Darkness_ (and about T. S. Eliot's _The Waste Land_, but that's another story). _Lord Jim_ (1899) has been hailed as one of Conrad's highest achievements, and while I would not say it is perfect, nor that it is his most enjoyable work, I recommend this novel to anyone interested in the author or in literary modernism.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Joseph Sciuto -- brilliantly descriptive, and mesmerizing work of art : If Dostovesky's "Crime and Punishment" stoked my interest in literature, it was Joseph Conrad who sealed the deal. From the opening lines of "Lord Jim" to the closing lines of the novel, it is nothing but a painstaking, brilliantly descriptive, and mesmerizing work of art. It is, in short, a masterpiece.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Regina -- Poor Jim : I read this novel because my son was reading it in his English lit class. It is an excellent literary work that is understandable both on the story telling level as well as the thematic level. Jim's story is suspenseful and surprising at times. The soul of his character is profoundly touching. "He is one of us," and we are Jim. How do we face up to our failures and faults when at the beginning of life we are so sure that we are one kind of person only to discover by "accidental" circumstances that we aren't that person at all, no matter how much we want to be. But, in discovering who we really are life gives us another, perhaps many more, chance(s) to become who we want to be. But even then we fall short because, after all we're only human!

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from M. Dowden -- A Thoughtful Read : It is perhaps hard to remember at times that Joseph Conrad was not the original name of this author, and that English was not his original tongue. Considering then what a powerhouse of English literature he is only goes to show his talents in his writing skills. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2017 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Paul W. -- Amazing novel ruined by appalling production quality. : Conrad must be spinning in his grave. This is without question the worst produced book I have seen in my entire life. The publisher is quite rightly not mentioned anywhere. The text is minute and printed in a narrow band down the centre of the page, with enormous margins. The text on the back is ineptly written in block capitals and appears to have been produced in an early version of PowerPoint. The picture on the front seems to have been chosen at random, possibly a Renaissance era gondolier. I had to give up eventually and order another copy. The novel itself is of course amazing, but in this format it’s totally unreadable. I just found a note at the back that says “printed by Amazon”, I just don’t understand what’s going on.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Ivan's choice -- A well crafted work of artistic success : To its contemporary readers and critics, Lord Jim was a bit longish and difficult especially the tale was printed over many issues in a magazine. That is to certain extent yes but as a story published in book form, it is slightly easier to "digest". ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2018 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from arboroff -- Excellent : For me, the key to this book is that Jim is the son of a clegyman who also happens to be a strict father whom Jim feels he has somehow got to please. As a son, he carries moral obligations, which have been instilled in childhood, into the world and away from the secure peace of the rectory home. He is a young man of high self-imposed standards. Proud, perhaps. But he has never been taught about weakness, failure or forgivenes. When he fails by jumping ship on that fateful night, he descends into the self-condemnation of a man who feels, bearing down upon him, not only the displeasure of his father, but also of God. All this is subconcious and that, of course, is the genius of Conrad. Jim is human but he hasn't been fully taught about the human condition (weakness and failure, and the antidote Forgiveness), despite his father's profession. So his shame is unbearable. Nothing anyone says or does will take the burden from him. He knows the moral obligation, he knows his duty; but he has not ever known forgiveness or, more accurately, self-forgiveness or God's forgiveness. He is the product of a one-sided religion; a religion of moral obligation but one without the love that makes it complete. Although the world Jim inhabits is ready to forgive, forget and move on, Jim cannot do so and attempts to escape his torment (and, who knows, seek inner peace?) by trying always to sail away from his pain. But he can't because the problem, the pain, travels with him. He becomes a good man through his attempt to find escape and restitution in Work. He is sought by employers whose trade blooms under Jim's direction. But the demon is ever there. Whenever he is confronted by his failure on that awful night he withdraws and moves on. Finally, he can run no more. He has, as it were, travelled to the ends of the earth in an attempt to escape his pain. He comes to that remote place where maybe he can rest his soul. But even here it doesn't work and Jim, in his own eyes, fails once more. He dies violently, sad and broken inside (even though he is now 'Lord' Jim) having never been freed from the shackles of guilt and shame through forgiveness and love. It is a sad tale and one's heart goes out to Jim who, if the truth be known, proves himself better than most. He is, in a sense, made perfect through sufferings, although he dies in ignorance of the fact. Conrad, brilliant as usual, uses Marlow to explore the inner workings of the soul. One feels, sometimes, that he is writing from personal experience; maybe so, but, if not, he displays an amazing insight into the workings of the tormented mind and the turmoil through which that mind sometimes puts us. Excellent. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2012 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from RYAN FIENNES -- Greatest Editions : The Everyman's Library Classics Edition books are, in my opinion, the best quality books available in the price-range. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2021 )
