About This Ebook

Heart of Darkness is more than an adventure story; it is a profound exploration of humanity and morality. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century European colonization in Africa, Marlow’s voyage reveals the blurred lines between civilization and savagery. The central figure, Kurtz, serves as a symbol of power and corruption taken to extremes, with his fate illustrating the abyss into which humans can fall when driven by desire. Conrad employs complex, poetic language to depict a world of tension, prompting readers to reflect deeply on the contradictions within individuals and the conflicts of the external world.
