HEART OF DARKNESS * AN OUTPOST OF PROGRESS * KARAIN * YOUTH The
finest of all Conrad's tales, 'Heart of Darkness' is set in an
atmosphere of mystery and menace, and tells of Marlow's perilous
journey up the Congo River to relieve his employer's agent, the
renowned and formidable Mr Kurtz. What he sees on his journey, and
his eventual encounter with Kurtz, horrify and perplex him, and
call into question the very bases of civilization and human nature.
Endlessly reinterpreted by critics and adapted for film, radio, and
television, the story shows Conrad at his most intense and
sophisticated. The other three tales in this volume depict
corruption and obsession, and question racial assumptions. Set in
the exotic surroundings of Africa, Malaysia. and the east, they
variously appraise the glamour, folly, and rapacity of imperial
adventure. This revised edition uses the English first edition
texts and has a new chronology and bibliography. ABOUT THE SERIES:
