"It was written I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice."Conrad's masterful novella, narrated by Charles Marlow, describes the search for ivory trader Mr Kurtz, the doomed voyage into the depths of the Congo, and the heart of darkness that awaits those who venture there.A dark and troubling narrative, Heart of Darkness stands capably in the canon of English literature, and serves as a testament to Conrad's remarkable gifting.
