"Marlow, a seaman and wanderer, recounts his physical and psychological journey in search of the infamous ivory trader Kurtz. Travelling up river to the heart of the African continent, he gradually becomes obsessed by this enigmatic, wraith-like figure. Marlow's discovery of how Kurtz has gained his position of power over the local people involves him in a radical questioning, not only of his own nature and values, but those of Western civilization. A haunting and hugely influential Modernist masterpiece, Heart of Darkness (1899) explores the limits of human experience as well as the nightmarish realities of imperialism."--Back cover. (less)

In the classic form of an adventure story, this short novel journeys deep into the human soul to explore man's infinite capacity for both good and evil. Five men who share the bond of the sea enjoy a jaunt on the Thames. The youngest among them, Marlow, the only one still follows the sea, tells of the time when he did turn fresh-water sailor for a bit -- when, in pursuit of a childhood fascination for a blank place on the map, he encountered the map, he encountered the enigmatic Kurtz--a European who had reverted to savagery in an isolated native trading post. In Marlow's progress from innocence through a comprehension of evil to maturity and self-awareness, the contemporary moviegoer will recognize the archetypal story retold in Apocalypse now. Rendered by a master storyteller, it acquires an especially luminous quality that sheds light on a great mystery of human existence. (less)
