'I asked myself what I was doing there, with a sensation of panic
in my heart as though I had blundered into a place of cruel and
absurd mysteries not fit for a human being to behold'. Charles
Marlow's dark intuition here arrives at the culmination of his
physical and psychological quest in search of the infamous
ivory-trader Kurtz in Joseph Conrad's most famous short story,
Heart of Darkness. Ambiguously drawn to the powerful 'voice' of
this autocratic European who has become a self-proclaimed ruler in
an African colony, Marlow is increasingly embroiled in Kurtz's life
and death: he is finally forced into a radical questioning, not
only of his own assumptions, but also of the civilized and imperial
pretensions of Western Europe. Offering a freshly-researched text
based on the writer's original documents, this edition presents a
classic of early modernist fiction in a version that, for the first
time, recovers Conrad's preferred wordings, punctuation and
narrative structure.
