Reseña del libro "Lord Jim (en Inglés)"

Lord Jim is a novel by Joseph Conrad originally published as a serial in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900.An early and primary event is the abandonment of a ship in distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with himself and his past.In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Lord Jim 85th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.Recovered from an injury, Jim seeks a position on the Patna, a steamer whose journey is to carry 800 "pilgrims of an exacting faith" to a Red Sea port. He is hired as first mate. After some days of smooth sailing, the ship hits something in the night and begins taking on water. The captain thinks the ship will sink, and Jim agrees, but wants to put the passengers on the few boats before that can happen. The captain and two other crewmen think only to save themselves, freeing a boat. The helmsmen remain, as no order has been given to do otherwise. In a crucial moment, Jim jumps into the boat with the captain. A few days later, they are picked up by an outbound steamer. When they reach port, it is well known that the Patna and its passengers were brought in safely by a crew from a French gun ship. The action of the captain is against the code of seamen, abandoning both ship and passengers. The others on the small boat leave before the magistrate's court is convened; Jim is left to testify. All lose their certificates to sail. Brierly is on the panel of the court, a captain of perfect reputation, who commits suicide days after this trial.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) fue un escritor polaco-británico conocido por sus relatos sobre el mar, el colonialismo y las luchas psicológicas de los individuos frente a la adversidad. Su obra se caracteriza por la exploración de temas como la moralidad, la desesperación y el absurdo de la existencia humana. Nacido en Ucrania, Conrad pasó gran parte de su vida como marinero antes de dedicarse a la escritura, lo que influyó notablemente en su estilo narrativo.

Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran El corazón de las tinieblas (1899), Lord Jim (1900) y Nostromo (1904). Si bien no recibió premios importantes durante su vida, su influencia en la literatura del siglo XX es indiscutible, siendo considerado un precursor de la narrativa moderna.
