Lord Jim

Autor: Allan Simmons , John Henry Stape

Número de Páginas: 156

"Lord Jim: Centennial Essays" features eight essays by major Conrad scholars to celebrate the centenary of the publication of what is possibly Joseph Conrad's best known novel. This carefully edited volume covers a wide range of topics, and includes new work on the novel's reception and sources, narrative strategies, and thematic interests. Various contemporary critical approaches - Bakhtinian, postcolonial, and historicist - are aired and reconsidered, and a generous selection of documents relating to the Jeddah affair of 1880 sheds light on Conrad's use of real-life materials. The kaleidoscopic perspectives brought to bear on this landmark of literary Modernism will stimulate and challenge both scholars and students alike.

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.'

Lord Jim

Autor: John Batchelor

Número de Páginas: 301

Published in 1900, Conrad’s Lord Jim can in many ways be seen as the first ‘modern’ novel. This important full study of the book, originally published in 1988, emphasizes the outstanding historical and artistic significance of Conrad’s masterpiece. John Batchelor pursues the ways in which Conrad dramatizes with unprecedented fidelity a relationship between friends and also explores what for Conrad is clearly a central truth about the human condition, namely the inalienable loneliness of man. The book provides a full discussion of the biographical and literary contexts of the novel, making use of the original manuscript and tracing the literary influences and sources of Conrad’s writing. It also considers the novel’s technical innovations, including Conrad’s ‘impressionism’ and its method of dramatization. Further chapters are devoted to a detailed commentary on the text and the book concludes with a study of the novel’s critical reception since its first publication. This volume will be essential reading for all students of literature and particularly for those with an interest in Conrad’s place in the development of modern fiction.

Conrad's Lord Jim

Autor: John Anderson

Número de Páginas: 200

This non-academic author explores Conrad's classic Lord Jim as a clinic in the psychology of the self, a novel whose characters are designed to reflect various degrees of integration of self-image and action and independence from the approval of others. Conrad's character construction anticipates the findings and theories of modern psychology, particularly those of psychological differentiation and to a lesser extent Jung and Freud. The main contrast in the clinic of the self is between the independent Marlow and the dependent Jim. After Jim fails to do his duty as First Mate on a ship named the Patna, he is judged by a court of inquiry and humiliated. Pathologically subject to shame because of the lack of any secure self, the dependent Jim attempts to hide by moving from port to port and finally into the jungle in out of the way Patusan. Crowned Lord Jim by the natives, he meets a seemingly inevitable fate because of his continuing need for approval from others. The independent Marlow helps Jim and in the process develops nuanced attitudes beyond conventional morality. Anderson sees the principal art of the novel as the connection Conrad forged between Jim and the Patna. Damaged...

Lord Jim and Nostromo

Autor: Joseph Conrad

Número de Páginas: 820

Selected by the Modern Library as two of the 100 best novels of all time Nostromo Originally published in 1904, Nostromo is considered by many to be Conrad's supreme achievement. Set in the imaginary South American republic of Costaguana, the novel reveals the effects of unbridled greed and imperialist interests on many different lives. Although each character's potential for good is ultimately corrupted, Nostromo underscores Conrad's belief in fidelity, moral discipline, and the need for human communion. The author himself described the book as 'an intense creative effort on what I suppose will remain my largest canvas.' 'Conrad endeavored to create a great, massive, multiphase symbol that would render his total vision of the world, his sense of individual destiny, his sense of man's place in nature, his sense of history and society,' observed Robert Penn Warren. 'Nostromo is the most strikingly modern of Conrad's novels,' said V. S. Pritchett. 'It is pervaded by a profound, even morbid sense of insecurity which is the very spirit of our age.' This volume is the companion to the acclaimed multipart series aired on Masterpiece Theatre. Lord Jim Lord Jim is a classic story of one...

Lord Jim. Illustrated edition

Autor: Joseph Conrad

Número de Páginas: 384

The novel "Lord Jim" is recognized as Joseph Conrad’s best work. But what does the author think? Here is a quote from his preface to one of the editions of the novel: " I have been asked at times whether this was not the book of mine I liked best. I am a great foe to favouritism in public life, in private life, and even in the delicate relationship of an author to his works. As a matter of principle I will have no favourites; but I don’t go so far as to feel grieved and annoyed by the preference some people give to my Lord Jim''. Pretty illustrations provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story. Illustrated by Vladislav Trotsenko.

Lord Jim at Home

Autor: Dinah Brooke

Número de Páginas: 264

When Dinah Brooke's second novel, Lord Jim at Home, was first published in 1973, it was described as "squalid and startling," "nastily horrific," and a "monstrous parody" of upper-middle class English life. It is the story of Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; who goes to war, and returns; and then, one day--like the hero of Joseph Conrad's classic Lord Jim--commits an act that calls his past, his character, his whole world into question.

Written in 1899-1900, Lord Jim is one of the key works of literary Modernism.

Rereading Conrad

Autor: Daniel R. Schwarz

Número de Páginas: 206

Leading Conradian scholar Daniel R. Schwarz assembles his work from over the past two decades into one crucial volume, providing a significant reexamination of a seminal figure who continues to be a major focus in the twenty-first century. Schwarz touches on virtually all of Joseph Conrad's work, including his masterworks and the later, relatively neglected fiction.

Joseph Conrad and Postcritique

Autor: Jay Parker , Joyce Wexler

Número de Páginas: 239

This book takes a postcritical perspective on Joseph Conrad’s central texts, including Heart of Darkness, The Secret Agent, Under Western Eyes, and Lord Jim. Whereas critique is a form of reading that prioritizes suspicion, unmasking, and demystifying, postcritique ascribes positive value to the knowledge, affect, ethics, and politics that emerge from literature. The essays in this collection recognize the dark elements in Conrad’s fiction—deceit, vanity, avarice, lust, cynicism, and cruelty—yet they perceive hopefulness as well. Conrad’s skepticism unveils the dark heart of politics, and his critical heritage can feed our fear that humanity is incapable of improving. This Conrad is a well-known figure, but there is another, neglected Conrad that this book aims to bring to light, one who delves into the politics of hope as well as the politics of fear.

Mi perdición

Autor: Alfred Hayes

Número de Páginas: 166

Un hombre en fuga termina encontrando siempre su pasado. Quien huye en Mi perdición es Asher, un guionista que abandona Hollywood después de descubrir a su esposa en brazos de un compañero de tenis. Viaja a Nueva York, ciudad de su infancia, donde conoce a una pareja de jóvenes irreverentes: Michael, un poeta rudo que escribe versos pornográficos, y Aurora, una atrevida italianita dispuesta a visitar su cuarto de hotel casi todas las noches. Michael no tiene problemas en "prestarle" a su novia a cambio de un sueldo como acompañante en sus exploraciones por una Nueva York ya perdida. Pronto, sin embargo, se revela que el trío amoroso no es más que una trampa en la que Asher terminará siempre mal parado, un juego cruel que le enseñará los límites morales de su propia generación. Escrita a fines de los sesenta, una década que puso en situación de idolatría a la juventud, esta novela de Alfred Hayes deslumbra con la honestidad y el despojamiento estilístico de siempre. Genio incomparable de la captura del instante, del fuego de la intensidad y del veredicto de decadencia inmediata, Hayes se muestra en Mi perdición, al igual que lo había hecho en Los enamorados y Que ...

Bajo la mirada de occidente

Autor: Joseph Conrad

Número de Páginas: 473

Bajo la mirada de Occidente aunque non sea una de las obras más reconocidas de Joseph Conrad, no hay duda de que los elementos psicológicos que se dan en ella la convierten en un magnífico ejemplo de la preocupación de su autor por mostrar las complejas tinieblas del ser humano. Una trama de intrigas, traiciones y espionaje sirve como telón de fondo para mostrar la terrible odisea de un personaje que lleva a cuestas la pesada carga de la culpa y el pecado. Razumov, un joven estudiante moscovita, se ve implicado (a causa de la inoportuna visita de un compañero de facultad) en el asesinato de un importante estadista del gobierno; en un principio trata de defender al verdadero culpable, pero pronto se arrepiente al verse acorralado por las sospechas y confiesa todo a las autoridades competentes. Dada su condición de inocente ante los ojos de la opinión pública, se le exige que actúe como agente doble y se infiltre en las filas de los revolucionarios rusos en el exilio, de manera que viaja a Ginebra para reunirse allí con un grupo de exiliados que preparan algunos golpes contra el gobierno. Sin embargo, también allí encontrará a la hermana del hombre al que delató para...

Autor: Joseph Conrad

Número de Páginas: 168

Los cuatro relatos reunidos en este volumen fueron publicados en 1925, un año después de la muerte de Joseph Conrad (1857-1924). El papel del honor, la dignidad y la lealtad en una sociedad dominada aún por valores románticos es el hilo conductor de estos cuentos. EL ALMA DEL GUERRERO y «El príncipe Román» suponen el regreso al mundo eslavo de la infancia y juventud del autor, mientras que «La historia» y «El piloto negro» son nuevas incursiones en los ilimitados horizontes del mar, fuente inagotable para Conrad de argumentos y de nostalgia.

La novela de Lord Jim, del autor polaco nacionalizado británico Joseph Conrad, se publicó en el año 1900. Aunque siempre se ha considerado una de las obras culminantes del género de aventuras, en la que su autor, como antiguo marino que era, reflejó su conocimiento de la mar, de sus gentes y de países exóticos, Conrad pretendió sobre todo trazar el retrato psicológico de un joven idealista y sediento de aventuras que descubre cuán difícil es el valor en situaciones extremas.
