Description:
This is a haunting and introspective novel that delves into the dark recesses of the human soul. Set in the backdrop of colonial Africa, the story follows Charles Marlow, a steamboat captain, as he navigates the treacherous Congo River in search of the enigmatic Kurtz. Through Marlow's journey, Conrad explores themes of imperialism, morality, and the human capacity for evil. With its atmospheric prose and thought-provoking narrative, Heart of Darkness challenges readers to confront the depths of their own darkness and grapple with the complexities of the human condition.
