Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is a story about a man named Marlow who travels deep into the African Congo on a riverboat to find a mysterious ivory trader named Kurtz. As Marlow journeys through the jungle, he sees the dark and brutal side of European colonialism and how it affects both the colonizers and the people being colonized. When he finally meets Kurtz, he discovers that the man has gone mad with power and isolation. The story explores how thin the line is between civilization and savagery, and how darkness can exist within every human being. *** Have you ever thought about how fascinating the world is, wide open through the pages of a book?
