The Heart of Darkness and Youth

by Joseph Conrad, Tim Butcher
$8.90
The Heart of Darkness and Youth
The Heart of Darkness and Youth

Journey into the darkness of colonial Africa.

"Heart of Darkness" captures the mesmerizing pull of the unexplored while delving into the darkness that lies in the soul of men. Conrad's masterful narrative takes you alongside Marlow, as he confronts not just the wilderness but the bleak reality of human nature. It's an evocative piece that resonates today, speaking volumes about power and morality. The included story "Youth" adds depth, making this edition even more compelling. If you have an appreciation for classics that challenge the psyche, this is a trip worth taking.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The silence of the jungle is broken only by the ominous sound of drumming. Life on the river is brutal and unknown threats lurk in the darkness. Marlow’s mission to captain a steamer upriver into the dense interior leads him into conflict with those who inhabit the forest. But his decision to hunt down the mysterious Mr. Kurtz—an ivory trader who is the subject of sinister rumors—leads him into more than just physical peril. The short story Youth, in which Marlow tells of his unlucky experience onboard a ship where the cargo caught fire, is also included.
