Joseph Conrad

A hundred years ago a seaman's life was full of danger, but Jim, the first mate on board the Patna, is not afraid of danger. He is young, strong, confident of his bravery. He dreams of great adventures  and the chance to show the world waht a hero he is.

But the sea is no place for dreamers. When the chance comes, on a calm moonlit night in the Indian Ocean, Jim fails the test, and his world falls to pieces around him. He disappears into the jungles of south-east Asia, searching for a way to prove himself, once and for all...

1.5/5

I didn't like it. First of all, the story was boring on its own. Secondly, narration of the audiobook was old and horrible. I had nothing in this story I enjoyed, yet it wasn't horrible itself, so I'm giving it 1.5 stars and moving on.

Yet again, I encounter a book labeled as a classic that I have no idea how it managed to gain that label. The narrative is incredibly hard, almost impossible to follow. It weaves in and out of coherency leaving definition far in the rear view mirror. I was also unsure of who the narrator actually was. I thought it was Jim but it obviously was not. That may have been my fault for not reading the book a little slower. I will admit that I started to skim a bit more towards the end because I had had enough of it.
I do not recommend this book.

A Tale (Penguin Classics)

David

First published in 1900, Lord Jim established Conrad as one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century. 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.
