📝 Description
Heart of Darkness is a classic novella that explores the themes of imperialism and the dark side of human nature through a journey up the Congo River. It was inspired by Conrad's own experiences in the Congo during the brutal rubber trade under King Leopold II. The story follows Charles Marlow as he travels into the African interior to find the mysterious Kurtz, an ivory trader who has established himself as a god-like figure among the locals. It remains one of the most studied and debated works in Western literature regarding its portrayal of colonialism.
