Book Description
Conrad's finest tale, "Heart of Darkness" tells the vivid story of Marlow's journey into the African Congo to meet the menacing Mr. Kurtz. This edition also includes "Youth," "Karain," and "An Outpost of Progress." Together, these four tales provide a panorama of Conrad's exotic vistas, adventurous narratives, and acutely ironic insights into human nature and the bases of civilization.

This was first assigned to me as summer reading before my senior year in high school. I got enough out my premier pass at it to be able to ace the test, but unaccompanied reading is NOT the way to experience this amazing work by Conrad. My sophomore year at university, we went through this again in Brit Lit II - the experience was totally different. And I've loved this novel ever since. From the journey through its influence into modern literature (like T.S. Eliot's superb "Hollow Men"), this book is iconic.
