The Fourth Edition is again based on Robert Kimbrough's meticulously re-edited text. Missing words have been restored and the entire novel has been repunctuated in accordance with Conrad's style. The result is the first published version of Heart of Darkness that allows readers to hear Marlow's voice as Conrad heard it when he wrote the story.
" Backgrounds and Contexts " provides readers with a generous collection of maps and photographs that bring the Belgian Congo to life. Textual materials, topically arranged, address nineteenth-century views of imperialism and racism and include autobiographical writings by Conrad on his life in the Congo. New to the Fourth Edition is an excerpt from Adam Hochschild's recent book, King Leopold's Ghost , as well as writings on race by Hegel, Darwin, and Galton.
" Criticism " includes a wealth of new materials, including nine contemporary reviews and assessments of Conrad and Heart of Darkness and twelve recent essays by Chinua Achebe, Peter Brooks, Daphne Erdinast-Vulcan, Edward Said, and Paul B. Armstrong, among others. Also new to this edition is a section of writings on the connections between Heart of Darkness and the film Apocalypse Now by Louis K. Greiff, Margot Norris, and Lynda J. Dryden.
A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

黑暗深处有什么?这是个很恐怖的问题,谁知道黑暗深处会有什么?也许什么都没有,也许有美好的东西,也许是可怕的东西,因为看不到,所以一切都有可能,但是很奇怪,对这黑暗中的千万种可能总是下意识的觉得是不祥的所在。 约瑟夫·康拉德以及他的这本《黑暗深处》保...
评分现实生活中这样的人并不少,不少人都是嘴上的梦想家,说着自己要成为怎样怎样的人,信心十足,可后来,渐渐地,当初挂在嘴边的话消失了。 开始于一段船上水手们交流故事,人们聚在一起总是需要一些话题来促进彼此的交流了解。马洛是一个阅历丰富的人,这一点无论从他的外貌还是...
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《黑暗的心》是一部简单的拜火教小说,光明与黑暗的斗争贯穿了始终,构成了整个故事发生的背景。而这场斗争的结果,死亡与遗忘,指明了自身的毫无意义,只有依靠谎言与欺骗才能把这场戏继续演下去。对立无处不在,首要的是文明世界与黑暗之心的对立,殖民者占据的海岸与贸易站...
heart of darkness真的太难读了。作家20年的航海经验和悲悯胸怀,成就了这个小说最伟大的主题:好人难寻,殖民掠夺下人何以为人?你要设想,整个故事连篇累牍的意象,甚至同但丁神曲的互文,都是第一人称口吻,用特别不口语化的散文诗语言讲述出来,格外消耗耐心。Conrad的语言风格不是我喜欢的类型,他是很伟大的作家。
评分不知道阿契贝的批评具体是怎么分析的。但我觉得马洛对库尔茨的景仰其实是对白人的无意识的更深的嘲讽。一个具有人道主义思想和求真精神的白人还是会服膺于一个“灭霸”的“理想”与“智慧”,人性在精神面前让步和屈膝。证据是,库尔茨的暴行是显而易见的,而关于他的美德与智慧却始终语焉不详,是个传说。他在弥留之际念念不忘的不过是为自己在雇主面前求得“正义”,保住象牙。结尾格外隆重深沉的语言尤其加重了这种反讽效果——白人没有能力越过自己的界限对殖民暴行进行道德反思,承认并说出“恐怖”已经是最大的德行。康拉德的语言太好了。
