About

Heart of Africa

Charles Marlow narrates his voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State in the Heart of Africa. He tells his story to his friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with ivory trader Kurtz. Conrad offers parallels between London ("the greatest town on earth") and Africa as places of darkness.

First published in 1899, this edition is derived from the original book. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.

Watercolor portrait of Joseph Conrad with scenes inspired by their writing.

Joseph Conrad

was a Polish-born British novelist and short-story writer whose fiction explores loyalty, moral uncertainty, and the pressures of empire. Best known for Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo, he often places individuals in circumstances that test their understanding of themselves. His atmospheric prose and layered narration helped prepare the way for modernist fiction.
