Novella by Joseph Conrad, first published in 1902 with the story "Youth" and thereafter published separately. The story reflects the physical and psychological shock Conrad himself experienced in 1890, when he worked briefly in the Belgian Congo. The narrator, Marlow, describes a journey he took on an African river. Assigned by an ivory company to take command of a cargo boat stranded in the interior, Marlow makes his way through the treacherous forest, witnessing the brutalization of the natives by white traders and hearing tantalizing stories of a Mr. Kurtz, the company's most successful representative. He reaches Kurtz's compound in a remote outpost only to see a row of human heads mounted on poles. In this alien context, unbound by the strictures of his own culture, Kurtz has exchanged his soul for a bloody sovereignty, but a mortal illness is bringing his reign of terror to a close. As Marlow transports him downriver, Kurtz delivers an arrogant and empty explanation of his deeds as a visionary quest. To the narrator Kurtz's dying words, "The horror! The horror!" represent despair at the encounter with human depravity--the heart of darkness. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分康拉德似乎偏爱黑色，他的丛林小说都十分浓墨重彩，绝大部分情节要么发生在夜晚，要么在被树木和浓雾遮住了天光的昏暗白昼。如果说这两部小说的基调都是孤独，那么，《黑暗的心》更多是关于死亡与绝望，而《吉姆爷》则关于恐惧和逃避。对于这两部小说的主人公而言，欧洲意味着...

几年前看的时候觉得比较难投入，现在看的话也许会有不一样的感受。黑暗之心，非洲腹地，人性的黑暗之地在何处呢？
