River steamboat captain Charles Marlow has set forth on the Congo in Africa to find the enigmatic European trader Mr. Kurtz. Preceded by his reputation as a brilliant emissary of progress, Kurtz has now established himself as a god among the natives in “one of the darkest places on earth.” Marlow suspects something else of Kurtz: he has gone mad.
A reflection on corruptive European colonialism and a journey into the nightmare psyche of one of the corrupted, Heart of Darkness is considered one of the most influential works ever written.
Revised edition: Previously published as Heart of Darkness, this edition of Heart of Darkness (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) is widely regarded as one of history’s greatest novelists. The Polish-British writer’s modernist style has influenced generations of authors including F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, André Malraux, George Orwell, Gabriel García Márquez, and Philip Roth.
Conrad transitioned from sailor to writer with natural ease, but beneath the surface of his seafaring adventures lay unexpected subtexts: controversial explorations of the human psyche peopled with antiheroes, extremists, revolutionaries, madmen, and doomed outsiders. He wrote of man’s deepest needs and darkest impulses, honor and redemption, divided loyalties, and the effortlessness with which the line between good and evil can be crossed.
In a singular and profoundly mysterious body of work that includes Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, The Secret Agent, and Nostromo, Conrad continues to inspire, provoke, and enthrall readers.
