Description
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is a gripping tale of obsession and the darker aspects of human nature. Marlow's journey upriver into the heart of Africa is a journey into the unknown, driven by his fixation on the enigmatic Kurtz. As Marlow delves deeper into the mystery of Kurtz's power, he is forced to confront the darker aspects of his own nature and the values that underpin Western civilization.
This edition of Heart of Darkness also includes Conrad's Congo Diary, a glossary, and an introduction that provides insight into the author's experiences of Africa and the novel's symbolic complexities. For over seventy years, Penguin has been a leading publisher of classic literature, offering authoritative texts that have been enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
