商品簡介
Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad is a novel that delves into themes of guilt, redemption, and the struggle for personal honor. The story follows Jim, a young and idealistic British sailor who dreams of being a hero. His life changes when he serves as the first mate on the Patna, a ship carrying Muslim pilgrims to Mecca. During the journey, the ship encounters a crisis, and Jim, along with the other officers, abandons it, leaving the passengers to what they believe is certain doom. Although the ship is later rescued, Jim's act of cowardice haunts him, and he faces a court of inquiry that forever taints his reputation.
Afterward, Jim drifts from job to job, seeking to escape his shame but unable to reconcile with his guilt. He finally finds a chance for redemption in Patusan, a remote Malaysian village where he becomes a trusted and heroic figure among the locals, respected as a "Lord" for his courage and leadership. Jim finds purpose in defending the community and building his sense of honor. However, his past resurfaces when a treacherous man named Brown threatens the village. Jim's decision to give Brown safe passage ultimately leads to tragedy, as Brown betrays him, resulting in the death of a local chief's son.
Confronted by his actions, Jim accepts responsibility, walking unarmed to his death at the hands of the chief as an act of atonement. Through Jim's journey, Lord Jim explores the complexities of moral courage, the weight of guilt, and the possibility of redemption. Conrad's narrative raises questions about how one act can define a person's life and whether true honor lies in how we face our own failings.
