From his many years on the high seas as a mariner, mate, and captain, Joseph Conrad created unique works, including Heart of Darkness, that have left an indelible mark on world literature. First published in 1899, his haunting novel Lord Jim is both a riveting sea adventure and a fascinating portrait of a unique outcast from civilization. One long evening, over cigars and brandy, the seasoned sea captain, Marlow, recalls the life of a handsome young first mate who loses his ship and his honor, but becomes a god. As his friends listen and question, the powerful and eloquent story of Lord Jim unfolds. Joseph Conrad’s novels are timeless. The images he creates in Lord Jim, of man’s struggle to maintain a balance between morality and human weakness, have been echoed in countless other novels and major motion pictures. Narrator Steven Crossley provides the perfect voice to convey both the worldly-wise Marlow and the brilliant but deeply flawed Jim.

spoilers to follow. Jim cared to much about what other people think. the end. I guess the writers only hope is that someone cares about Jim.

That Jim guy was a real fool

I have enjoyed previous Conrad works that I have listened to. This one too. But its not one of his best.

It feels a bit like he had a collection of tales and characters that kinda sorta fit together but he couldn't quite come up with a story to unite them all. So he decide to stitch them together in a bit of a patchwork quilt. They are all interesting and well written and if presented as seperate short stories I would have probably enjoyed them more. The pace is slow, both in the original work and in the narration. There were several bits where I realised I had stopped paying attention and on rewinding to relisten realised that i had lost nothing from the story. The writing isn't exactly bloated , just a bit extended. If you are looking for a Conrad to start off on then "The Secret Agent" is a better story.

The narration is very clear and measured - sometimes so measured that I checked my player to make sure it hadn't come to a halt.

Good - but not great.

Best narrative and narration I have ever heard. Conrad still stands up. Especially as told by the narrator

A truly amazing story, one for the ages. A morality tale dealing with character, honor, courage, and also the question of whether redemption is ever possible. I do not know the answer but am a romantic too, much like Jim, who wrestles with such questions. Can we ever make amends? Did Jim find redemption in the end or was he cheated by fate, or another personal character flaw? Perhaps it is only for others to decide not Jim, for honor is necessarily given by others not earned. If so, honor is a fickle and unfaithful mistress. I weep for Jim and hope he found peace in his last moments.

Conrad is a favorite writer. It’s hard to imagine that he could grow up Polish and learn English as a young man, and then become one of the great English novelists. I recommend his short stories also especially Youth, Typhoon, The Lagoon, and also of course Heart of Darkness.

Thank you also Steven Crossley for your exceptional reading. I read the book many years ago to myself and did not take away any lasting memory of the details. I will always remember them now thanks to you.



CAPTIVATING STORY PERFECTLY TOLD

An amazing South Pacific adventure story taking place during the early 20th Century. Conrad wrote exquisitely to describe all characters, visualized in the readers mind, yet sad and heartbreaking.

Youthful Adverturer

The audio made it a much easier way to approach this book. However, I recommend reading summaries of the chapters after listening to them. I found that at times I had missed or misunderstood things that had occurred. A good book.

A classic I always meant to read

The reader was excellent, as was the book itself. One of Conrad’s best novels of all.

Gorgeous language.

Stimulates thoughts about human arrogance and human fragility . We are blind to our prideful ways, pompous feelings of self-importance, and critical judgement of others. From dust we come and to dust we shall return.

Authentic characters

Tried to listen to while traveling a long trip. Both my son and I found the early parts of the book seemingly discombobulated and turrned book off. Concievably we did not have a situation foor sufficient focus as the early parts of the book has multiple features linked to establish the story. I know the film -- that was great but seemed much more focused than the book. Conrad is a genius and likely the listener needs a quiet environment to focus on the story's linkages. My guess is that all gets well tied together in a sophisticated way by the stories end. The movied was powerful. Likely the book is also if finished.

Could not get into this novel.

Would you listen to Lord Jim again? Why?

Yes because it is so dense with meaning.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lord Jim because he was "one of us".

What does Steven Crossley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Conrad needs to be savored and read slowly. Having Crossley's narration aided tremendously in my understanding and appreciation of this classic.
