Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.

Condemned in court for his impetuous act of cowardice, Jim relegates himself to a life roaming the Far East.Unforgettably told by Marlow, who also narrates Conrads Heart of Darkness, the story of Lord Jim plumbs the mysteries of a man renounced by society but driven by a desire for redemption.A.
