Introduction and Notes by Gene M. Moore, Universiteit van
Amsterdam. Generally regarded as the pre-eminent work of Conrad's
shorter fiction, Heart of Darkness is a chilling tale of horror
which, as the author intended, is capable of many interpretations.
Set in the Congo during the period of rapid colonial expansion in
the 19th century, the story deals with the highly disturbing
effects of economic, social and political exploitation of European
and African societies and the cataclysmic behaviour this induced in
some individuals. The other two stories in this book - Youth and
The End of the Tether - concern the sea and those who sail upon it,
a genre in which Conrad reigns supreme.
