This classic novel is about a young naval officer named Jim with high hopes of glory, but when he faces his first trial of courage, he fails miserably. When the cargo ship Jim is on starts to sink, he jumps into a lifeboat to save himself instead of waking the doomed pilgrims. This action haunts him the rest of his life, but he does get another chance to redeem himself. The narrator, Captain Marlow, is the same as in "Heart of Darkness".Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.
