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.

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,...
评分看这本书是由于TEEN WOLF前一段时间播第三季,他们文学课上讲的就是这本。当时以为是美国文学了。看完这本书后才知道,作者应该属于英国文学范畴。。。汗一个!! 编剧水平蛮高的,营造气氛和制作借鉴了很多小说里面的东西,黑色的背景,很哥特。。。这篇文章取名...
评分先说说为什么趁着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 评分刚读完黑暗的心,诚如许多评论所言,阅读过程比较费劲,或许是情节不对胃口,或许是语言有点晦涩,或许是叙事方式有点跳跃,可能都有点吧,但是,我觉得康拉德的厉害之处在于他跳脱了英国当时流行的叙事范式:多次变换的叙事视角,嵌套故事,放弃对故事情节的执念,注重人物心...
