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 评分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...
评分《黑暗的心》是一部简单的拜火教小说，光明与黑暗的斗争贯穿了始终，构成了整个故事发生的背景。而这场斗争的结果，死亡与遗忘，指明了自身的毫无意义，只有依靠谎言与欺骗才能把这场戏继续演下去。对立无处不在，首要的是文明世界与黑暗之心的对立，殖民者占据的海岸与贸易站...

评分几年前看的时候觉得比较难投入，现在看的话也许会有不一样的感受。黑暗之心，非洲腹地，人性的黑暗之地在何处呢？
