'To the white men in the waterside business and to the captain of ships he was just Jim - nothing more. He had, of course, another name, but he was anxious that it should not be pronounced.' Lord Jim tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman - 'as unflinching as a hero in a book' - who is disgraced by a single act of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a merchant-ship sailing from an Eastern port. His life is blighted: an isolated scandal assumes horrifying proportions. An older man, Marlow, befriends Jim, and helps to establish him in Patusan, a remote Malay settlement. There he achieves a kind of peace, but his courage is put to the test once more. Lord Jim is one of the most profound and rewarding psychological novels in English. Set in the context of social change and colonial expansion in late Victorian England, it embodies in Jim the values and the turmoil of a fading empire. In his introduction and notes to this new edition Jacques Berthoud explores the social and cultural dynamics that inform the novel.

評分進入二十世紀後,英國的傳統小說創作受到瞭不斷衝擊和嚴重挑戰。寫小說不再是創造引人入勝的故事,不再是在引人入勝的故事裏塑造栩栩如生呼之欲齣的虛構人物形象。勇於探新的年輕一代作傢急於宣泄自我,錶達個人對工業化社會的所見所聞所想,不惜擯棄傳統手法,從語言、結構和...
評分康拉德和陀思妥耶夫斯基一樣,不知道誰說,他們的小說有股強大的粘力,喔是木心的《外國文學史》。我非常認同。情節按理來說是混亂無序的,大段大段的文字,好像在說“我纔不管你看不看呢,我是寫給我自己的。”讀瞭一半,覺得,恩非常讓人印象深刻,好深刻的作傢,好厲害,但...
