Publisher Description: The Heart of Darkness is a novel inspired by the six months that Joseph Conrad spent in the Congo colonized and devastated by King Leopold II of Belgium. Through the voice of the old sailor Marlow, the story tells of Marlow's long journey in pursuit of the enigmatic Kurtz, head of an ivory farm upriver. As his boat enters the heart of the jungle, Marlow discovers the horrors that, in the name of civilization, have been perpetuated by Belgian colonizers. |
