JOSEPH CONRAD: HEART OF DARKNESS (With Text)

Joseph Conrad had travelled to various parts of the world in his career as a sailor. His writings record his impressions of the voyages he had undertaken as an explorer. Heart of Darkness, his much celebrated novella, is an account of Marlow’s voyage to the Congo in the 1890’s , and is based on Conrad’s own voyage to the interior of the Dark Continent, the process of colonisation, the exploitation of the black natives and the impact they had on the white men, who had ostensibly undertaken this mission to ‘civilise’ the savages. The present work seeks to examine and analyse the text from various angles for the benefit of students in universities in India and abroad along with a definitive text.
