Product Description

 
Charles Marlow's journey into the heart of Africa is an odyssey into corruption, absurdity and folly. He sees rapacious Europeans exploiting the Africans and conspiring against each other; he voyages upstream on a paddle-steamer that comes under lethal attack; and he encounters the great idealist, Mr Kurtz, the genius who seemed to represent the best of Europe. But Mr Kurtz has 'taken a high seat among the devils of the land', and Marlow returns to Europe bearing the burden of appalling knowledge, forced to make his 'choice of nightmares'.

"The Horror! The Horror!"

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: An excellent book, a quick read worthy of the "Classic" status given to it...you should read this.
Review: ?The Heart of Darkness? is yet another of those classics I was supposed to read at some point in high school with the rest of the English-speaking world, and yet I somehow passed it by in my quest to read every word John Steinbeck ever wrote. And...

Conrad vs. Hemingway?

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2000
Review: In comparing the works of Conrad and Hemingway we find ourselves dealing with the argument as to whether dynamism or symbolism constitutes the more powerful writing style. Conrad?s Heart of Darkness remains one of the most monumental and inspiring...

A master of seafaring literature makes his mark

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: A story that has earned its place in the halls of classic Western literature, Heart of Darkness demands attention and delivers thoughtful enjoyment.
Review: Although I am reluctant to concede this fact, like many American males in their twenties, the reason I was inspired to read Conrad's Heart of Darkness was because of my own love of Apocalypse Now. It is no secret that the three-hour-long Francis...

Paperback, Heart of Darkness: Complete, Authoritative Text With Biographica...
This is Conrad's most subtle, compressed and proleptic work. Acclaimed as a supreme literary achievement, it has also come under literary, historical, and political attack. The profoundly influential novel journeys toward the settlement of the demonic Mr. Kurtz, the genius who would represent the best of Europe-but who, turned by the colonial experience to abuses both psychological and social, horrifies his investigator Marlow and commits him to witness the repulsive profundity of his own soul and times.

Paperback, Heart of Darkness: Complete, Authoritative Text With Biographica...
Dark allegory describes the narrator's journey up the Congo River and his meeting with, and fascination by, Mr. Kurtz, a mysterious personage who dominates the unruly inhabitants of the region. Masterly blend of adventure, character development, psychological penetration. Considered by many Conrad's finest, most enigmatic story.
