HEART OF DARKNESS

In Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad explores the complexities of colonialism and the darkness within the human soul. Set against the backdrop of a journey through the African Congo, the novella follows Marlow, a sailor, as he ventures into the depths of the wilderness to find Kurtz, an ivory trader. As Marlow uncovers the horrors of imperialism, the story delves into themes of power, corruption, and the blurred boundaries between civilization and savagery. This haunting and thought-provoking work remains a powerful critique of colonialism and the human condition.
