When Charles Marlow travels to Africa to serve as steamboat pilot
for an ivory-trading company, he learns he is to rendezvous with
Kurtz, a trading-post agent held in high regard. But the deeper
Marlow penetrates into the jungle, the grimmer the assessments of
Kurtz become. Described by Conrad himself as “something quite on
another plane than an anecdote of a man who went mad in the Centre
of Africa,” Heart of Darkness has long been regarded as a
powerful appraisal of the fragility of civilization and the
consequences of imperialism. This collection includes another five
of Conrad’s incomparable tales of adventure, including “The
Secret Sharer,” “Youth,” and “Typhoon.”
