|  | Lord Jim by Cedric Watts, Cedric P. Watts, Gene Engene, Jacques Berthoud, John Batchelor
Lord Jim tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman--'as unflinching as a hero in a book'--who is disgraced by an act of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a merchant-ship sailing from 'an Eastern port' with a party of Muslim pilgrims. His life is blighted: an isolated scandal assumes horrifying proportions. An older man, Marlow, befriends Jim, but his efforts to find him employment meet with little success until, at last, he is able to establish him in Patusan, a remote native settlement on one of the islands of the Malay Archipelago. AUTHOR: Cedric Watts, Cedric P. Watts, Gene Engene, Jacques Berthoud, John Batchelor
