"Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad is a novella that follows Charles Marlow's journey as a steamer captain in the African interior, working for a Belgian company. The story critiques European colonialism and explores themes of power, morality, and the thin line between civilization and savagery. Central to the narrative is Marlow's encounter with Kurtz, an ivory trader who has succumbed to the wilderness. The novella, influential in literature, inspired the film "Apocalypse Now" and remains a powerful examination of imperialism and racism.

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad (1857–1924), originally Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, was a Polish-British novelist celebrated for his mastery of English prose, acquired in his twenties. His works, set in nautical environments, blend literary impressionism with early modernist and 19th-century realist elements. Conrad's novels, such as "Lord Jim," defy conventional heroism, influencing subsequent writers. Reflecting on imperialism and colonialism, his narratives delve into profound explorations of human identity and morality, resonating with themes that remain relevant in contemporary literature. Conrad, who wrote during the peak of the British Empire, drew inspiration from his native Poland's experiences for nearly all of his life.
