A Romantic Radio Story-Play, taken from the novel by Joseph Conrad, by Cecil Lewis

This radio version of 'Lord Jim,' by Mr. Cecil Lewis, marked an interesting innovation in broadcasting technique when it was first given over a year ago. Listeners who are interested in the development of radio drama will he glad of the opportunity of hearing it again.

The Story is divided into three parts
Perhaps the most famous, 'Lord Jim' is also one of the most characteristic, novels of Joseph Conrad, the writer who, himself a foreigner, attained an unsurpassed mastery of the English language, and used it to interpret to English people the minds and moods of men who make their living at sea. It is a tale full of thrilling happenings in Eastern seas and Malayan jungles; and it is yet the record of the spiritual fall and rise of a man, sensitive and suffering, to whom all the reader's sympathy goes out. As another noted writer of the sea has said of it, it 'has a magic which plays tricks with time and space. It has in it the mysterious East which Conrad knew so well, ships and men, and unusual happenings in places where simple accidents may cause disaster, not to the body only, but to the soul.'
