Originally intended as a short story, the work grew to a full-length novel as Conrad explored in great depth the perplexing, ambiguous problem of lost honor and guilt, expiation and heroism.

Fiction
Lord Jim is a classic story of one man's tragic failure and
eventual redemption, told under the circumstances of high
adventure at the margins of the known world which made
Conrad's work so immediately popular. But it is also the
book in which its author, through a brilliant adaptation of
his stylistic apparatus to his obsessive moral,
psychological and political concerns, laid the groundwork
for the modern novel as we know it.
