'Heart of Darkness' is a superlative novella... November 22, 1999
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
'Heart of Darkness' is an extremely profound novella. The rendition of the Congo as told by Marlow is a deep psychological investigation of the self and how Imperialism damages the African continent. 'Heart of Darkness' is a narrative built around criticising the colonial invasion and the materialist acquisition of ivory. The 'heart of darkness' itself is a place full of moral and psychological questions. Conrad transports the reader into the interior of Africa through Marlow with an extreme clarity of atmosphere. Conrad not only anticipates the moral obligation todays generation would feel towards Africa, but also the severe and intense guilt that would befall us. This novella is worth reading for the horrible, acquistional and savage 'heart' of the book alone. Take the journey with Marlow and have your eyes opened wide, then you will also see 'The horror! The horror!'...
