具体描述
Novella by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1902 with the story "Youth" and thereafter published separately. The story reflects the physical and psychological shock Conrad himself experienced in 1890, when he worked briefly in the Belgian Congo. The narrator, Marlow, describes a journey he took on an African river. Assigned by an ivory company to take command of a cargo boat stranded in the interior, Marlow makes his way through the treacherous forest, witnessing the brutalization of the natives by white traders and hearing tantalizing stories of a Mr. Kurtz, the company's most successful representative. He reaches Kurtz's compound in a remote outpost only to see a row of human heads mounted on poles. In this alien context, unbound by the strictures of his own culture, Kurtz has exchanged his soul for a bloody sovereignty, but a mortal illness is bringing his reign of terror to a close. As Marlow transports him downriver, Kurtz delivers an arrogant and empty explanation of his deeds as a visionary quest. To the narrator Kurtz's dying words, "The horror! The horror!" represent despair at the encounter with human depravity--the heart of darkness. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分被迫看得英文版的，别的不好说，就是挺崇拜康拉德的，都30多了开始学英语还能拿英语写作当作家，无疑给吾辈打了一针强心针，让我觉得我又有希望了。。。“文明人”，“野蛮人”，文明的播种者还是野蛮的殖民者，这些问题太老套了又太尖锐了，作为一个第三世界的女人，想这些我...
评分英国文学史课上初读约瑟夫·康拉德的英文版《黑暗之心》（The Heart of Darkness）时，我毫不例外被作者笔下刻画出的十九与二十世纪之交，帝国主义和殖民主义所衍生出的霸权统治的野蛮、种族压迫的晦暗、现代文明的矛盾所深深震撼。然而，当体验了社会性别与女性研究的知识后，...
