The novella explores the harrowing journey of sailor Charles Marlow as he navigates the complexities of European colonialism in Africa. Tasked with finding the enigmatic ivory trader Kurtz, who has succumbed to the wilderness, Marlow's expedition reveals disturbing truths about power, morality, and the thin veneer of civilization. Through Marlow's experiences, the narrative critiques imperialism and highlights the blurred lines between "civilized" society and savagery, offering profound insights into human nature and colonial exploitation.
