Marlow, a man who has spent his life at sea, tells the story of a journey up the River Congo which changed his life.
His journey upriver to find Kurtz, the charismatic head of a colonial trading station, takes him into the very heart of
Africa and leads Marlow to question both Kurtzs dubious methods and his own very nature. Conrads dark and powerfully evocative tale is a compelling study of inner
conflict and a devastating critique of European imperialism.
