Lord Jim
By Joseph Conrad
CHAPTER 1

He was an inch, perhaps two, under six feet, powerfully built, and he advanced straight at you with a slight stoop of the shoulders, head forward, and a fixed from-under stare which made you think of a charging bull. His voice was deep, loud, and his manner displayed a kind of dogged self-assertion which had nothing aggressive in it. It seemed a necessity, and it was directed apparently as much at himself as at anybody else. He was spotlessly neat, apparelled in immaculate white from shoes to hat, and in the various Eastern ports where he got his living as ship-chandler's water-clerk he was very popular. A water-clerk need not pass an examination in anything under the sun, but he must have Ability in the abstract and demonstrate it practically. His work consists in racing under sail, steam, or oars against other water-clerks for

Reviewer: bup - 1/18/2008 20:30 Subject: Good reading If you want to do Lord Jim as an audio book, this is the version to get. Seriously. I tried it as an audio book before, and I couldn't get through it − the reader was treating it as his own Broadway one−man show, and the voices were so affected I couldn't take it. Wills' reading, on the other hand, is bright, inflective, and interesting, but at the same time it's still Joseph Conrad's book that's the star of the show. Wills doesn't distract you − you forget that he's there, and you just listen. As for the book itself, well, plenty has been written about Lord Jim, better than I could write it. It's a classic.
