Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by Polish-British novelist Joseph Conrad, about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa, by the story's narrator Charles Marlow. Marlow tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness. Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilised people and those described as savages; Heart of Darkness raises questions about imperialism and racism.

Es war für mich nicht einfach zu lesen, weil der Schreibstil oder auch Begriffe nicht gut verständlich sind. Das Buch wurde mir von einer Reiseleiterin empfohlen, hat aber meine Neugier auf diese Epoche nicht befriedigt.
