Fiction · 1899
Heart of Darkness
Aboard a yawl moored in the Thames, the sailor Marlow tells how he took command of a river steamer for a European trading company in Africa and went upriver in search of Kurtz, an agent of exceptional reputation. Joseph Conrad’s novella was serialised in Blackwood’s Magazine in 1899 and published in book form in 1902.
Drawn in part from Conrad’s own journey up the Congo in 1890, the story has become one of the most discussed works of the century — for its prose, its structure, its account of colonial exploitation and the questions its representation of Africa has raised. Bibliomancer presents the text as written.
