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 评分刚读完黑暗的心,诚如许多评论所言,阅读过程比较费劲,或许是情节不对胃口,或许是语言有点晦涩,或许是叙事方式有点跳跃,可能都有点吧,但是,我觉得康拉德的厉害之处在于他跳脱了英国当时流行的叙事范式:多次变换的叙事视角,嵌套故事,放弃对故事情节的执念,注重人物心...
评分黑暗深处有什么?这是个很恐怖的问题,谁知道黑暗深处会有什么?也许什么都没有,也许有美好的东西,也许是可怕的东西,因为看不到,所以一切都有可能,但是很奇怪,对这黑暗中的千万种可能总是下意识的觉得是不祥的所在。 约瑟夫·康拉德以及他的这本《黑暗深处》保...
诚如Achebe所说,一厢情愿地妖魔化非洲。
