He wrote many books and stories, but the two that remain most popluar are Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. Lord Jim is both an adventure story and a story of tragedy and repentence.

"Lord Jim" to najwyżej dziś ceniona powieść Conrada, choć wcześniej dostrzegli ją czytelnicy niż krytycy. Najbardziej uderza w tej historii wielość narratorów i związana z tym zmienność punktów widzenia oraz rozmaitość perspektyw czasowych. Wyjątkowość "Lorda Jima" wynika również z faktu, że wywodzi się z różnych rodzajów literatury. Poznajemy losy młodego Anglika, najpierw jako oficera marynarki handlowej, potem pracującego w portach południowo-wschodniej Azji, by wreszcie zdobyć rolę przywódcy na Borneo.
