Lord Jim Book Review

Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad, 1900 Jim, a British seaman, ships aboard the Patna, taking 800 pilgrims to Mecca.  When the ship rams a derelict and is holed, Jim and the other officers abandon ship, leaving the passengers to the mercy of the sea.  But the ship is rescued and towed to port and the officers brought to trial.  At the trial, Jim meets Marlow and tells his story.  He reveals that he refused to leave the boat, or help those abandoning it, but tripped during a swell and stumbled into a departing lifeboat.  He knows it must appear that he too was a coward and, in fact, by not revealing the truth before the ship was towed into port, he has participated in their crime. Jim's seaman certificate is canceled, but he tells Marlow that he feels proud of standing & accepting his punishment like a man. The story picks up several years later, Jim has wandered from port to port, always moving on when the story of the Patna catches up with him.  Finally, he is sent as a water
