Résumé : Heart of Darkness traces a voyage upriver into the depths of empire—and into the depths of the human soul. Recognized among the Modern Library's 100 greatest English-language novels of the twentieth century, Conrad's masterpiece recounts Charles Marlow's search for Kurtz, a gifted agent whose brilliance has curdled into tyranny. In the oppressive stillness of the Congo, ideals of progress collapse, and the boundary between civilization and savagery dissolves. The novella's haunting power would echo through the twentieth century, most famously in its influence on Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. This is the English-language paperback edition of the novel. Heart of Darkness. First published in: Blackwood's Magazine, United Kingdom 1899. First published in book form in: Youth, a Narrative; and Two Other Stories, William Blackwood and Sons, 1902. The text of this edition follows the text of the 1902 book publication. Includes a photograph of the Belgian riverboat commanded by Joseph Conrad on the Upper Congo in 1889. Neuausgabe, 1. Auflage, Göttingen 2026.
