Jules Verne's classic tale begun in "From the Earth to the Moon"
continues in this worthy sequel.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics. '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. We penetrated deeper and deeper into
the heart of darkness.' At the peak of European Imperialism,
steamboat captain Charles Marlow travels deep into the African
Congo on his way to relieve the elusive Mr Kurtz, an ivory trader
renowned for his fearsome reputation. On his journey into the
unknown Marlow takes a terrifying trip into his own subconscious,
overwhelmed by his menacing, perilous and horrifying surroundings.
The landscape and the people he meets force him to reflect on human
nature and society, and in turn Conrad writes revealingly about the
dangers of imperialism.
