HEART OF DARKNESS*AN OUTPOST OF PROGRESS*KARAIN*YOUTH The finest of all Conrad's tales, 'Heart of Darkness' is set in an atmosphere of mystery and menace, and tells of Marlow's perilous journey up the Congo River to relieve his employer's agent, the renowned and formidable Mr Kurtz. What he sees on his journey, and his eventual encounter with Kurtz, horrify and perplex him, and call into question the very bases of civilization and human nature. Endlessly reinterpreted by critics and adapted for film, radio, and television, the story shows Conrad at his most intense and sophisticated. The other three tales in this volume depict corruption and obsession, and question racial assumptions. Set in the exotic surroundings of Africa, Malaysia. and the east, they variously appraise the glamour, folly, and rapacity of imperial adventure. This revised edition uses the English first edition texts and has a new chronology and bibliography.

看了Youth, Heart of Darkness, Amy Foster, The Secret Sharer，最后两个股市最好看，但总体来说匠气太重
评分Us uncivilized swine!
评分虽然课很无聊，好歹有了次重温经典的机会。读了一堆postcolonial的批评，森森觉得文学文本给人带来的愉悦永远是文学批评比不上的。人类情感与想象之丰富伟大，远非任何理论框架可以圈划。经典之所以为经典，确有其难以颠覆的道理，而掺杂了政治种族意识形态的解读，即使一时引起轰动，终究逃脱不了历史与共识的评判。难怪连Eagleton都要呼吁回归审美，回归文学本质。这本不远万里带回来的书终于不再沉睡在书架上了……
