THE PENGUIN ENGLISH LIBRARY HEART OF DARKNESS...

The Penguin English Library Edition of Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad 'The mind of man is
capable of anything - because everything is in it  all the past as well as all the future. What
was there after all? Joy  fear  sorrow  devotion  rage - who can tell? - but truth - truth
stripped of its cloak of time. Let the fool gape and shudder - the man knows  and can look on
without a wink' Marlow  a seaman  tells of a journey up the Congo. His goal is the troubled
European and ivory trader Kurtz. Worshipped and feared by invaders as well as natives  Kurtz
has become a godlike figure  his presence pervading the jungle like a thick  obscuring mist. As
his boat labours further upstream  closer and closer to Kurtz's extraordinary and terrible
domain  so Marlow finds his faith in himself and civilization crumbling. Conrad's Heart of
Darkness has been considered the most important indictment of the evils of imperialism written
to date. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English  from the
eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
