Edited by Paul O’Prey
SINOPSIS:
Written in the last year of the nineteenth century, Hear of Darkness can be seen in many ways as the first twentieth-century novel.
Its climate of doubt and vagueness, its los of moral confidence and its need for belief in the mindst of spiritual wilderness, its exploration of the subconscious and its affirmation of individual freedom are all thems that were to have an influence on writers such as Orwell, Golding, Céline, Borges and Eliot.
In Heart of Darkness Conrad unfolds the story of Marlow’s search for Mr Kurtz, the company agent whose ‘unlawful soul’ has been ‘beguiled beyond the bounds of permitted aspirations’ in his dealings with the natives of the Belgian Congo. Marlow’s adventure onvolves him in a crucial reappraisal of his own values. It is Kurtz, however, who aattains to a visión of the inexpressible, terrifying reality of the heart in this extraordinary exploration of human savagery and despair.
