About This Novel
"Lucky Jim" tells the story of young Jim who comes to a local university in England to serve as a temporary lecturer in medieval history. He had been employed for less than a year, but his future was firmly in the hands of the department chairman, Mr. Welch. At the critical moment when he was deciding whether to stay or not, he happened to compete with the director's son for his girlfriend. Facing the hypocritical academic circle and the arty social life after the war, Jim continued to have troubles... "Lucky Jim" was selected into "Time" magazine's "100 Best English Novels from 1923 to 2005". It is a rare comedy work in the history of British novels after World War II. The work's dissatisfaction with the current situation of British society, attack on the privileges of the middle class, ridicule of the "fake" high literature represented by those successful old writers, and criticism of the so-called welfare state policies, etc., Are all in line with the wishes of the general public. This is probably one of the reasons why this novel resonated with the lower class at the time and became so popular. "Lucky Jim" became a household name in British society in the 1950s.
