Lord Jim (Extra Large Print Edition) Paperback – Large Print, February 26, 2024

Joseph Conrad’s classic story of one man’s tragic failure and eventual redemption—now updated in easy-to-read extra large print 20-point font!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 ruined: an isolated scandal has assumed horrifying proportions. But, then he is befriended by an older man named Marlow who helps to establish him in exotic Patusan, a remote Malay settlement where his courage is put to the test once more. Lord Jim is a book about courage and cowardice, self-knowledge and personal growth. It 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 turmoil of a fading empire. Its central message about the consequences of straying from personal responsibility and ethical integrity is as powerful today as it was over one hundred years ago.This extra large print edition from Common Classics is formatted with 20 point font, generous margins, and ample white space, perfect for seniors, low light readers, or anyone with vision impairment or a preference for larger type.
