'''''Lord Jim''''' is a novel by [[Joseph Conrad]] originally published as a serial in ''[[Blackwood's Magazine]]'' from October 1899 to November 1900. An early and primary event in the story is the abandonment of a passenger ship in distress by its crew, including a young British seaman named Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with himself and his past and seeking redemption and acceptance.

In 1998 the [[Modern Library]] ranked ''Lord Jim'' 85th on its list of the [[Modern Library 100 Best Novels|100 best English-language novels of the 20th century]].
