Conrad was born on 12/3/1857, in a part of Russia that had once belonged to Poland. His parents were members of the landed gentry, but as ardent Polish patriots they suffered considerably for their political views. Orphaned at 11, Conrad attended school in Cracow but concluded that there was no future for him in occupied Poland, and at 16 he left forever. The sea was Conrad's love and career for the next 20 years; in the British merchant navy, he rose finally to captain, sailing to Australia and Borneo and surviving at least one shipwreck. In 1890 he became captain of a Congo River steamer, but this led only to disillusionment and ill health and this would become the basis for Conrad's masterpiece, Heart of Darkness. Reluctantly leaving the merchant service, he settled in England and completed his first novel, Almayer's Folly, already begun at sea.

Heart of Darkness is a novella by Joseph Conrad. Before publication, it appeared in a three-part series in Blackwood's Magazine (1899). This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame tale, following a man named Charlie Marlow, as he recounts his adventure to a group of men, onboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary, at dusk and continuing into the evening. It details an incident earlier in Marlow's life when he, an Englishman, takes a foreign assignment as a ferry boat captain on what readers can assume is the Congo River in the Belgian owned Congo Free State; the name of the country is never specified in the text. Though his job is to transport ivory downriver, Marlow quickly develops an intense interest in investigating Kurtz, an ivory procurement agent in the employment of the government. Kurtz's reputation extends throughout the region.

Publisher Comments:

Heart Of Darkness. The story of the civilized, enlightened Mr. Kurtz who embarks on a harrowing "night journey" into the savage heart of Africa, only to find his dark and evil soul. The Secret Sharer. The saga of a young, inexperienced skipper forced to decide the fate of a fugitive sailor who killed a man in self-defense. As he faces his first moral test the skipper discovers a terrifying truth — and comes face to face with the secret itself. Heart Of Darkness and The Secret Sharer draw on actual events and people that Conrad met or heard about during his many far-flung travels. In portraying men whose incredible journeys on land and at sea are also symbolic voyages into their own mysterious depths, these two masterful works give credence to Conrad's acclaim as a major psychological writer.

先说说为什么趁着la fête des morts要看这本书，其实是因为看了《金刚》，然后去刷了《现代启示录》。电影前半部分是经典的反战倾向，但到了后半部分却完全跳脱出了战争的内涵，上升到了人类对于原始文明的理解，偶像崇拜、祭祀仪式……这在现代人看来“愚昧无知”的文明，却...

在大多数英雄故事中，主角需要勇气和坚韧去赢得胜利，但主要是针对外部环境对他们造成的挑战做出回应。西方古典文学遵循这一传统，行为主宰情节，在时间递进中，一步步丰满三一律所需，完善因果链条上的动机与结局，试图让一切清楚无误。现代小说与古典小说的分野，令时间之线...

飘渺的云烟，迷茫的大海，扑朔迷离的街灯在岸上。日子如同梦一般，花白的，模糊不清。我们开始听马洛讲过去的故事。这个故事关于主角自己深入非洲腹地寻找库尔兹，掠夺象牙。马洛讲故事的方式对我们很受用，我们仿佛只是朋友间的闲聊，轻松自如。虽然故事的最后，这个说故事...

Its not the story but the way of telling that captured me. A call of the wild for we who live in such a so called civiled world.

just started my reading. my impression on this novel is that it is a book imbued with a slight absurdity. and I feel not very comfortable with Conrad's language, it has a bit of exoticness.
