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.

康拉德及其写作特点 约瑟夫.康拉德,资深航海家文人,热爱航海加写文。出生于1857年,原籍波兰。父母因参加民族独立运动被沙俄政府流放。10岁时父母双亡,由舅舅抚养成长。17岁前往马赛,来到一艘法国商船上——这成为康拉德长达20年海上生涯的开端。此后他从水手一步步晋...
评分康拉德的法语比英语好,当时据说英语写作更利于出版,他在20岁时开始学习英语。 F.R.利维斯在《伟大的传统》中列举大量的例子批评康拉德的英语: The same vocabulary, the same adjective insistence upon inexpressible and incomprehensible mystery, is applied to the evo...
评分在初读《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...
