An early and primary event is the abandonment of a ship in distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with his past.Franklin Library books were designed and bound by the Sloves Organization, which was an affiliate of the Franklin Mint.
