Jim, first mate on board the Patna, is 'a simple and sensitive character', a raw youth dreaming dreams of heroism. But when the Patna threatens to sink, Jim takes the cowardly way out, and jumps clear. His unbearable guilt and its consequences are shaped by Conrad into a narrative of immeasurable richness.'One of the world's literary masterpieces ...Probably most of us come to feel what the text suggests: that we contain more potential lives than real life permits us to realize' Cedric Watts.
