DescriptionWe live as we dream--alone.
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness Heart of Darkness (1899) is a short novel by Joseph Conrad, written as a frame narrative, about Charles Marlow's life as an ivory transporter down the Congo River in Central Africa.
The river is a mighty big river, that you could see on the map, resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country, and its tail lost in the depths of the land.
In the course of his travel in central Africa, Marlow becomes obsessed with Mr.
Kurtz.
The story is a complex exploration of the attitudes people hold on what constitutes a barbarian versus a civilized society and the attitudes on colonialism and racism that were part and parcel of European imperialism.
Originally published as a three-part serial story, in Blackwood's Magazine, the novella Heart of Darkness has been variously published and translated into many languages.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Heart of Darkness as the sixty-seventh of the hundred best novels in English of the twentieth century.
About the Author Joseph Conrad was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England.
He was granted British nationality in 1886, but always considered himself a Pole.
Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a marked accent).
He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe.
He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.
While some of his works have a strain of romanticism, his works are viewed as modernist literature.
His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors, including D.
Lawrence, F.
Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell: 254 Graham Greene, Mal.
