Heart of Darkness

Autor Joseph Conrad Editat de Owen Knowles, Robert Hampson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2007
A haunting Modernist masterpiece and the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's Oscar-winning filmApocalypse Now,Heart of Darknessexplores the limits of human experience and the nightmarish realities of imperialism.

Conrad's narrator Marlow, a seaman and wanderer, recounts his physical and psychological journey in search of the infamous ivory trader Kurtz: dying, insane, and guilty of unspeakable atrocities. Travelling upriver to the heart of the African continent, he gradually becomes obsessed by this enigmatic, wraith-like figure. Marlow's discovery of how Kurtz has gained his position of power over the local people involves him in a radical questioning, not only of his own nature and values, but also those of western civilisation.

Part of a major series of new editions of Conrad's most famous works in Penguin Classics, this volume contains Conrad'sCongo Diary, a chronology, further reading, notes, a map of the Congo, a glossary and an introduction discussing the author's experiences in Africa, the narrative and symbolic complexities ofHeart of Darknessand critical responses to the novel.

Edited with an introduction by Owen Knowles

Notă biografică

Joseph Conrad was born in the Ukraine in 1857 and grew up under Tsarist autocracy. In 1874 Conrad travelled to Marseilles, where he served in French merchant vessels before joining a British ship in 1878 as an apprentice. In 1886 he obtained British nationality. Eight years later he left the sea to devote himself to writing, publishing his first novel,Almayer's Folly, in 1895. The following year he settled in Kent, where he produced within fifteen years such modern classics asYouth, Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, Typhoon, Nostromo, The Secret AgentandUnder Western Eyes. He continued to write until his death in 1924.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In this rendering of Conrad's classic, we join colonial trader Marlow as he recounts his journey into the heart of Africa. Interspersed with extracts from Conrad's 'The Congo Diary', Mairowitz and Anyango create a vision of Conrad's finest and most enduring novella.

Recenzii

"This small novel is written with intense clarity - sentence for sentence it is still more unsettling than many unpleasant books that have been written since" -- Anne Enright "Conrad's narrative arsenal is awesome... Conrad deals in profundities if he deals in anything, but it is just his ability to clip his own wings in midflight, to puncture his ponderously magnificent dirigibles, that make him such an impressive literary performer" Sunday Times "Still the debate rages: is Conrad's novella an incisive critique of colonialism, or does it reinforce the very racist values it claims to unmask? Either way, his shrouded account of Marlow's journey into the "god-forsaken wilderness" of the Congo demands to be read. At its core lies the enigmatic, awesome Kurtz, and civilisation itself. "And this also," said Marlow suddenly, "has been one of the dark places of the earth" Guardian "Demands to be read" Guardian "Conrad broadened the descriptive range of the English language (his glowing and luxuriant delight in words, the haunting decor of the tropics, all that maritime terminology) more than any of his contemporaries" Independent
