Astounded by the brutal depravity he witnesses, Marlow becomes obsessed with meeting Kurtz, a famously idealistic and able man stationed farther along the river. What he finally discovers, however, is a horror beyond imagining. Heart of Darkness is widely regarded as a masterpiece for its vivid study of human nature and the greed and ruthlessness of imperialism. This collection also includes three of Conrad' s finest short stories: \" Youth, \" the author' s largely autobiographical tale of a young man' s ill-fated sea voyage, in which Marlow makes his first appearance, \" The Secret Sharer, \" and \" Amy Forster.\" Features a map of the Congo Free State.","brand":"BARNES \u0026 NOBLE INC","offers":[{"title":"Used - acceptable","offer_id":53385552429398,"sku":"9781593080211-B","price":5.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781593080211_1_040e0c24-ef91-4e5f-a522-f13dfe2a8930.jpg?v=1781650337","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/conrad-joseph-heart-of-darkness-and-selected-short-fiction-9781593080211","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
