Heart Of Darkness

Heart of Darkness is Conrad's best known work. A dark and compelling novella dealing with the moral corosiveness of colonialism and the mental fragility of apparently civilised Europeans exposed to the dark heart of the "Dark Continent". It's central revelation is that there is little difference between "civilised people" and "savages".Despite first appearing to be a sailors yarn told by the congenial Marlow, this is a disturbing book and utterly compelling. It is also beautifully written by Conrad, one of the greatest masters of English prose, despite the remarkable fact that English was his third language.The Everyman edition is beautifully produced and has a thoughtful introduction by Verlyn Klinkenborg and a chronology of Conrad's life and work.

It's definitely a great novel... the storyline is definitely pretty good....

Conrads Meisterwerk in einer sehr guten Neuauflage. Viele Zusatzinformationen, gewohnt hervorragende Penguin-Qualität.

Horrible el recorte de las hojas.

Spedizione veloce e prodotto come da descrizione. Ho visto che molti si lamentano per come è stampato anche se non capisco il motivo dato che mi sembra un normalissimo libro. Ha una bella introduzione e contenuti aggiuntivi che possono essere utili per chi come me dovrà utilizzarlo per un elaborato. Lo consiglio.
