📖 About the Work

Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella in which sailor Charles Marlow recounts his assignment as steamer captain for a Belgian company in the African interior. The work is widely regarded as a powerful critique of European colonial rule in Africa, particularly Belgium's exploitation of the Congo Free State under King Leopold II. Through Marlow's journey upriver to find the ivory trader Kurtz who has "gone native," Conrad examines themes of power, morality, civilization versus savagery, and the psychological darkness within humanity. This influential work shaped 20th-century literature and continues to provoke important discussions about colonialism and its representations.
