Heart of Darkness

Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' is a masterpiece of modernist literature that explores the dark heart of imperialism and the human psyche. Written in a highly descriptive and introspective style, the novella follows the journey of Charles Marlow as he navigates the Congo River and encounters the horrors of colonialism. Conrad's use of symbolism and narrative techniques, such as framing devices and unreliable narration, adds layers of complexity to the story. Set in the late 19th century, the novella reflects Conrad's own experiences as a sailor and his disillusionment with European expansion. The exploration of themes such as power, morality, and cultural decay make 'Heart of Darkness' a timeless and influential work in the canon of English literature. Fans of psychological fiction and post-colonial literature will find this novella both thought-provoking and hauntingly captivating.
