Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad is a novella that follows Charles Marlow's journey as a steamer captain in the African interior, working for a Belgian company. The story critiques European colonialism and explores themes of power, morality, and the thin line between civilization and savagery. Central to the narrative is Marlow's encounter with Kurtz, an ivory trader who has succumbed to the wilderness. The novella, influential in literature, inspired the film "Apocalypse Now" and remains a powerful examination of imperialism and racism.
