Novella by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1902 with the story "Youth" and thereafter published separately. The story reflects the physical and psychological shock Conrad himself experienced in 1890, when he worked briefly in the Belgian Congo. The narrator, Marlow, describes a journey he took on an African river. Assigned by an ivory company to take command of a cargo boat stranded in the interior, Marlow makes his way through the treacherous forest, witnessing the brutalization of the natives by white traders and hearing tantalizing stories of a Mr. Kurtz, the company's most successful representative. He reaches Kurtz's compound in a remote outpost only to see a row of human heads mounted on poles. In this alien context, unbound by the strictures of his own culture, Kurtz has exchanged his soul for a bloody sovereignty, but a mortal illness is bringing his reign of terror to a close. As Marlow transports him downriver, Kurtz delivers an arrogant and empty explanation of his deeds as a visionary quest. To the narrator Kurtz's dying words, "The horror! The horror!" represent despair at the encounter with human depravity--the heart of darkness. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

在初读《黑暗之心》,我不会关注康拉德对非洲的凝视,或者一种因为孤独和疾病而堕落的心灵的呈现。写在人物分析前,我们要厘清的是:故事的要义即在嘲弄欧洲人在非洲的文明使命吗?也许是的,他可以是政治化的,也可以是历史化的,云云,但是我尽量在第一次阅读的过程中剔除这...
评分飘渺的云烟,迷茫的大海,扑朔迷离的街灯在岸上。 日子如同梦一般,花白的,模糊不清。 我们开始听马洛讲过去的故事。这个故事关于主角自己深入非洲腹地寻找库尔兹,掠夺象牙。 马洛讲故事的方式对我们很受用,我们仿佛只是朋友间的闲聊,轻松自如。虽然故事的最后,这个说故事...

评分 评分在大多数英雄故事中,主角需要勇气和坚韧去赢得胜利,但主要是针对外部环境对他们造成的挑战做出回应。西方古典文学遵循这一传统,行为主宰情节,在时间递进中,一步步丰满三一律所需,完善因果链条上的动机与结局,试图让一切清楚无误。现代小说与古典小说的分野,令时间之线...
