The Fourth Edition is again based on Robert Kimbrough's meticulously re-edited text. Missing words have been restored and the entire novel has been repunctuated in accordance with Conrad's style. The result is the first published version of Heart of Darkness that allows readers to hear Marlow's voice as Conrad heard it when he wrote the story.
" Backgrounds and Contexts " provides readers with a generous collection of maps and photographs that bring the Belgian Congo to life. Textual materials, topically arranged, address nineteenth-century views of imperialism and racism and include autobiographical writings by Conrad on his life in the Congo. New to the Fourth Edition is an excerpt from Adam Hochschild's recent book, King Leopold's Ghost , as well as writings on race by Hegel, Darwin, and Galton.
" Criticism " includes a wealth of new materials, including nine contemporary reviews and assessments of Conrad and Heart of Darkness and twelve recent essays by Chinua Achebe, Peter Brooks, Daphne Erdinast-Vulcan, Edward Said, and Paul B. Armstrong, among others. Also new to this edition is a section of writings on the connections between Heart of Darkness and the film Apocalypse Now by Louis K. Greiff, Margot Norris, and Lynda J. Dryden.
A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

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...

评分1889年到90年期间,康拉德受一家比利时贸易公司之托前往刚果河一带,身份是一艘蒸汽船的船长---然而即使没有这段背景,我也总不由自主地把故事的第二讲述者---马洛---等同于作者:原因在于,我实在无法想象一位从来没有见识过河流和丛林、没有体验过神秘凄凉的黑暗、...

学校必读的书 说实话挺好看的 反反复复读了三遍每次都会领悟到新东西
评分i totally dont get this book 充满比喻的描写完全看不下去
评分始终觉得好晦涩看不懂。特别压抑
评分我第一次读完以后就只是觉得有点心累,但也可以给个四星,但后来跟老师聊着聊着就发现卧槽啊真的太黑暗了卧槽卧槽所以就给了五星了,因为太卧槽了我本来觉得Marlow和Kurtz的关系也挺那啥的,现在就只觉得特别可怕……人类真的太可怕了。
评分当初是被老师逼着看的,什么都不懂,若干年回头体味出书的意义
