Heart Of Darkness: A Haunting Journey into Colonial Cruelty and Human Corruption by Joseph Conrad

🌑 The deeper you go, the darker it gets.

Heart of Darkness is Joseph Conrad's searing novella about imperialism, moral decay, and the thin veneer of civilization. Set along the Congo River, this unforgettable tale follows one man's journey into the African interior—and into the most terrifying depths of the human soul.

🚢 A voyage upriver becomes a descent into madness. Charles Marlow is sent to retrieve the elusive ivory trader Kurtz, a man revered—and feared—for his brutal power over the natives. As Marlow travels further from the comforts of European society, he begins to unravel a disturbing truth: the darkness of the jungle is nothing compared to the darkness within mankind.

💀 A powerful critique of colonialism and a meditation on evil. First published in 1899, Heart of Darkness remains a foundational work of modern literature. Its themes of exploitation, identity, and moral ambiguity still resonate, making it as relevant today as ever.
