In the haunting novel 'Heart of Darkness', Charles Marlow recounts his perilous journey down the Congo River in pursuit of the enigmatic ivory trader Kurtz, who has established a remote outpost deep within the jungle's depths. As Marlow delves deeper into the heart of Africa, he finds himself and his surroundings descending into chaos and madness.
This classic tale has profoundly impacted literature and popular culture, inspiring countless translations, adaptations, and interpretations. Francis Ford Coppola's iconic film 'Apocalypse Now' (1979) drew heavily from Conrad's work, while the Modern Library ranked 'Heart of Darkness' 67th on its list of the 20th century's greatest English novels. Renowned literary critic Harold Bloom noted that this novella has been subject to more analysis than any other studied work, attributing its enduring fascination to Conrad's masterful use of ambiguity, which continues to captivate scholars and readers alike.
