Description
The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return. Charles Marlow's journey up the Congo in search of Mr Kurtz becomes a terrifying exploration into both the unknown and his own subconscious.
As he travels deeper into the dense jungle, Marlow begins to sense the presence of this extraordinary and terrible man, and to question the horrifying realities of European imperialism and of human nature itself. This thought-provoking text has inspired many further works and remains a powerful exploration of the human condition.
Originally published in 1899, 'Heart of Darkness' is a masterpiece of literary fiction that continues to appeal to readers with its haunting and unflinching portrayal of the human experience.
