Heart of Darkness
About this book
? "The horror! The horror!" ?
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is one of the most haunting and influential works in modern literature—a mesmerizing journey into the depths of the human spirit and the brutal realities of imperialism.
Told through the voice of Charles Marlow, a sailor recounting his voyage up the Congo River in search of the enigmatic ivory trader Mr. Kurtz, the story explores the thin line between civilization and savagery, reason and madness. As Marlow ventures deeper into Africa's wilderness, he confronts not only the cruelty of colonial exploitation but also the moral darkness lurking within himself.
Written in 1899, Heart of Darkness blends adventure, psychology, and philosophy in Conrad's masterful prose. More than a tale of exploration, it is a timeless meditation on power, corruption, race, and the fragile nature of humanity. Its evocative imagery and layered symbolism have inspired countless interpretations and adaptations—from literature and film to political and cultural discourse.
A cornerstone of modernist fiction, Heart of Darkness remains a chilling and thought-provoking examination of the human condition.
