Synopsis
This edition of Heart of Darkness provides depth and context for students, with the complete novel in an easy-to-read format, and a detailed introduction and bespoke glossary written by a teacher with academic expertise in the area. Explore the contemporary context, Conrad's writing, the novel's critical reception, and subsequent interpretations for a deeper reading of the text. Expand your further reading with a list of key articles and critical and theoretical texts. Improve your understanding of the novel with unfamiliar concepts and culturally-specific terms defined in the glossary., "Heart of Darkness" grew out of a journey Joseph Conrad took up the Congo River; the verisimilitude that the great novelist thereby brought to his most famous tale everywhere enhances its dense and shattering power. Apparently a sailor's yarn, it is in fact a grim parody of the adventure story, in which the narrator, Marlow, travels deep into the heart of the Congo where he encounters the crazed idealist Kurtz and discovers that the relative values of the civilized and the primitive are not what they seem. "Heart of Darkness" is a model of economic storytelling, an indictment of the inner and outer turmoil caused by the European imperial misadventure, and a piercing account of the fragility of the human soul.
