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.
Ausverkauft, aber heiß begehrt!

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 British first edition texts and has a new chronology and bibliography. Book jacket.
