Axel Heyst, a dreamer and a restless drifter, believes he can avoid suffering by cutting himself off from others. Then he becomes involved in the operation of a coal company on a remote island in the Malay Archipelago, and when it fails he turns his back on humanity once more. But his life alters when he rescues a young English girl, Lena, from Zangiacomo's Ladies' Orchestra and the evil innkeeper Schomberg, taking her to his island retreat. The affair between Heyst and Lena begins with her release, but the relationship shifts as Lena struggles to save Heyst from detachment and isolation. Featuring arguably the most interesting hero created by Conrad, Victory is both a compelling tale of adventure and a perceptive study of the power of love.

En stor og foruroligende roman om menneskesindet og de kræfter, der styrer det. Et litterært hovedværk fuld af etiske dilemmaer. Jim er overbevist om, at han er født under en lykkestjerne, der vil sikre ham mod tilværelsens anslag. Det skib, han er styrmand på, støder på et underjordisk rev og begynder at synke. Besætningen springer i bådene og overlader 800 pilgrimme på vej mod Mekka til deres egen skæbne i lastrummet. Men båden undsættes, og det efterfølgede søforhør afslører forræderriet. Jim står i midt i en skæbnesvanger konflikt, som han ikke kan redde sig ud af og resten af sit liv kæmper han for at genvinde sin selvrespekt og få fred med sin samvittighed. En kamp, der bliver hård og nådesløs. Bogen, der udkom første gang i 1900, udgies her i Mogens Boisens oversættelse med et forord af forfatteren Kristian Bang Foss. Pressen skriver: »Joseph Conrads mesterlige roman Lord Jim om en forrevet romantiker, en sjælevrider i Dostojevskijs følge, men også en moderne type i en absurd verden.« – Torben Brostrøm, Information »Ingen har bedre end Joseph Conrad gjort etiske dilemmaer levende. ’Lord Jim’ er en af den slags bøger, der viser, hvad litteratur kan.« ****** – Thomas Bredsdorff, Politiken

Certain streets have an atmosphere of their own, a sort of universal fame and the particular affection of their citizens. One of such streets is the Cannebi re, and the jest: "If Paris had a Cannebi re it would be a little Marseilles" is the jocular expression of municipal pride. I, too, I have been under the spell. For me it has been a street leading into the unknown. There was a part of it where one could see as many as five big caf s in a resplendent row. That evening I strolled into one of them. It was by no means full. It looked deserted, in fact, festal and overlighted, but cheerful. The wonderful street was distinctly cold (it was an evening of carnival), I was very idle, and I was feeling a little lonely. So I went in and sat down.
