Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.One of the most haunting stories ever written, Joseph Conrad s Heart of Darkness follows Marlow, a riverboat captain, on a voyage into the African Congo at the height of European colonialism. Astounded by the brutal depravity he witnesses, Marlow becomes obsessed with meeting Kurtz, a famously idealistic and able man stationed farther along the river. What he finally discovers, however, is a horror beyond imagining. Heart of Darkness is widely regarded as a masterpiece for its vivid study of human nature and the greed and ruthlessness of imperialism. This collection also includes three of Conrad s finest short stories: Youth, the author s largely autobiographical tale of a young man s ill-fated sea voyage, in which Marlow makes his first appearance, The Secret Sharer, and Amy Forster. Features a map of the Congo Free State. A. Michael Matin is a professor in the English Department of Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina.

5 out of 5 stars

Bought it for critical acclaim, havent read it yet
I haven't read this book yet but I was reading another book, Phillip Gourevitch's "We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our children." (Yes, that's the title). And I had to read "In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz" by Michaela Wrong (I think that's her name). Both have references to Heart of Darkness (the latter one, quite obviously) and I've consistently heard great things about the book. I'm also from Africa, so I am doubly interested. I bought this copy as a permanent copy that i intend to keep forever, so I'm looking forward to reading it.

A Bold Observation!
It's an intriguing take on this era of British influence in Africa.
