Description
A seaman's journey up the Congo River is told by Marlow, who seeks to understand the enigmatic Kurtz. As he labours upstream, closer to Kurtz's domain, Marlow's faith in himself and civilization crumbles.
Kurtz has become a godlike figure, his presence pervading the jungle like a thick mist. His extraordinary and terrible reputation has been built on the sword and torch of those who have followed him.
This psychological exploration of human nature is a gripping tale of obsession, faith, and the darkness that lies within.
