Lord Jim - Espanol

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

Escrita en 1900, Lord Jim es la gran novela sobre el tenue filo que separa las dos caras de una misma moneda: la cobardía y el valor. Marcado por un trágico incidente en el que se ve envuelto en una de sus travesías como piloto, Jim arrastra como una losa, mas con la dignidad de que sólo son capaces los personajes trazados por JOSEPH CONRAD(1857-1924), el juicio que tanto la sociedad como él mismo formulan sobre su comportamiento en aquella ocasión. El destino, sin embargo, pondrá inesperadamente al alcance de Jim la oportunidad de alcanzar la redención personal.

About the Author

Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
