Lord Jim
By Joseph Conrad

Narrated by Graham Scott

Idealistic parson's son Jim goes to sea thirsting for adventure. As mate of the pilgrim ship Patna, however, when disaster looms Jim is persuaded by his crew mates to abandon the ship, leaving the vessel and hundreds of passengers to their fate. But with his life in ruins Jim alone has the courage to face up to the public censure which follows, piquing the interest of Captain Marlow, who befriends Jim and relates the tale of the young man's attempts to come to terms with his guilt and make an honourable future for himself.
