About this book

A journey into the Congo… and into the darkest corners of the human heart. When sailor Charles Marlow accepts a commission to captain a river steamer for a Belgian trading company, he sets off deep into the heart of the African Congo. Along the way, he hears whispers of the enigmatic ivory trader Mr. Kurtz—a man both revered and feared. What Marlow discovers is more than a story of colonial exploitation; it's a chilling exploration of moral decay, power, and the fragile line between civilization and savagery. First published in 1899, Heart of Darkness is Joseph Conrad's most famous and controversial novella. It remains a profound critique of imperialism, human greed, and the psychological toll of unchecked ambition. Its influence extends far beyond literature, inspiring films like Apocalypse Now and countless works examining the cost of power. "One of the greatest short novels in the English language." – The New York Times "A masterpiece of psychological and political insight." – The Guardian ? Why Readers Love It: ? A powerful critique of European colonialism ? An intense psychological portrait of moral corruption ? A timeless literary work studied around the world ? Click 'Buy Now' to embark on Conrad's unforgettable journey into the moral wilderness.
