HEART OF DARKNESS & OTHER STORIES - JOSEPH CONR...

Designed to appeal to the book lover  the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth
printed on high quality paper  and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges  Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.   One night on the Thames  Charles Marlowe
tells his fellow sailors the vivid and brutal tale of his time as a riverboat captain in the
Belgian Congo. From the mists of London we are whisked to the darkness of Africa's colonial
heart - and into the thrall of the tyrannical Kurtz  an ivory trader who has established
himself as a terrifying demi-god.   Sinister and incisive  Heart of Darkness has retained the
fascination of readers and scholars alike. It is accompanied here by the stories with which it
has been published since 1902: the autobiographical Youth  and the tale of an old man's fall
from fortune  The End of the Tether.   This elegant Macmillan Collector's Library edition
features an afterword by Dr Keith Carabine.
