About the Book
Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Joseph Conrad and first published in 1899. The story is narrated by Charles Marlow, a sailor who recounts his harrowing journey as a steamer captain for a Belgian company in the African interior. Marlow’s expedition takes him up the Congo River, where he seeks to find Kurtz, an ivory trader who has become a legend due to his deep immersion in the local culture and his descent into madness.
Regarded as a powerful critique of European colonialism, Heart of Darkness exposes the moral and ethical decay of colonial powers in Africa, while examining the brutal consequences of imperialism. The novella takes place against the backdrop of the Congo Free State, a private colony of Belgium’s King Leopold II at the time, making it a poignant commentary on the exploitation and oppression faced by native populations.
Through themes of power, madness, and moral ambiguity, Heart of Darkness remains one of the most significant works in the literary canon, inviting readers to question the darkness that lies within both colonialism and human nature.
