Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'To the white men in the waterside business and to the captain of ships he was just Jim - nothing more. He had, of course, another name, but he was anxious that it should not be pronounced.'Lord Jim tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman - 'as unflinching as a hero in a book' - who is disgraced by a single act of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a merchant-ship sailing from an Eastern port. His life is blighted: an isolated scandal assumes horrifying proportions. An older man, Marlow, befriends Jim, and helps to establish him in Patusan, a remote Malay settlement. There he achieves a kind of peace, but his courage is put to the test once more.Lord Jim is one of the most profound and rewarding psychological novels in English. Set in the context of social change and colonial expansion in late Victorian England, it embodies in Jim the values and the turmoil of a fading empire. In his introduction and notes to this new edition Jacques Berthoud explores the social and cultural dynamics that inform the novel. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Notă biografică

Nascido Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski (Joseph Conrad) na cidade de Berdychiv, atualmente Ucrânia, a 3 de dezembro 1857 e falecido a 3 de agosto de 1924. A cidade era na época parte do Império Russo dos Czares convencionada como a Polónia-Russa, tendo sido anteriormente território polaco. Os seus pais eram nascidos da nobreza polaca, pelo que Conrad é habitualmente considerado um escritor polaco-inglês (e não ucraniano) por essa ascendência e pela aquisição da cidadania britânica em 1886, tendo-se radicado em Inglaterra em 1894 onde iniciou a sua carreira de escrita literária. Orfão de pai e mãe aos 11 anos, Conrad foi a partir daí criado por uns tios, mais tarde e ainda na sua juventude lançou-se à aventura da vida alistando-se na marinha mercante, o que lhe proporcionou múltiplas viagens aventurosas e um extraordinário conhecimento e paixão pelo mar que podemos ver refletidos em diversas das suas histórias como em duas das mais famosas obras da sua autoria: Lord Jim (1900) e Heart of Darkness (1902); o primeiro adaptado ao cinema por Richard Brooks no filme de 1965 com o mesmo nome, e o último adaptado ao cinema no filme Apocalypse Now (1979) de Francis Ford Coppola. Conrad acrescentou novas formas de escrita à língua inglesa através do seu multilinguismo, abrindo portas linguísticas à expressão britânica, e com o seu estilo narrativo baseado em personagens anti-heróicas contribuiu para a transição do realismo para o modernismo da escrita inglesa, e não só, tendo influenciado numerosos autores. Viria a falecer em Inglaterra no ano de 1924 em Bishopsbourne (Kent) vítima de enfarte de miocárdio.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

One of Joseph Conrad’s greatest novels, Lord Jim brilliantly combines adventure and analysis. Haunted by the memory of a moment of lost nerve during a disastrous voyage, Jim submits to condemnation by a Court of Inquiry. In the wake of his disgrace he travels to the exotic region of Patusan, and as the agent at this remote trading post comes to be revered as ‘Tuan Jim.’ Here he finds a measure of serenity and respect within himself. However, when a gang of thieves arrives on the island, the memory of his earlier disgrace comes again to the fore, and his relationship with the people of the island is jeopardized.

This new Broadview edition is based on the first British edition of 1900, which provides the historical basis for the accompanying critical and contextual discussions. The appendices include a wide variety of Conrad’s source material, documents concerning the scandal of the Jeddah, along with other materials such as a substantial selection of early critical comments.

Recenzii

"This edition is obviously the product of enormous time and effort, and the end product is well worth what went into producing it. In both the introduction and textual essay, the editors clearly delineate the origins of the novel, both the story itself and its journey into published form."
-John Peters, English Literature in Transition 1880-1920
