Its central message about the consequences of straying from personal responsibility and ethical integrity is as powerful today as it was over one hundred years ago.<br>In a split-second impulse of self-preservation, a young ship's officer abandons his imperiled vessel and its passengers. He survives, but suffers a wretched existence. He must go forward facing the scorn of the world and his own guilt, as he seeks atonement for the dishonorable choice he made.

Conrad drew upon his experiences in the British and French navies to portray the struggles of humanity amid the world's vast indifference.
