Offering a freshly-researched text based on Conrad's original documents, this edition presents a classic of early modernist fiction in a version that recovers the writer's preferred wordings, punctuation and narrative structure. The text is supported by a rich context of ancillary documents and annotation, including introduction, appendices and notes.
''I asked myself what I was doing there, with a sensation of panic in my heart as though I had blundered into a place of cruel and absurd mysteries not fit for a human being to behold''. Charles Marlow''s dark intuition here arrives at the culmination of his physical and psychological quest in search of the infamous ivory-trader Kurtz in Joseph Conrad''s most famous short story, Heart of Darkness. Ambiguously drawn to the powerful ''voice'' of this autocratic European who has become a self-proclaimed ruler in an African colony, Marlow is increasingly embroiled in Kurtz''s life and death: he is finally forced into a radical questioning, not only of his own assumptions, but also of the civilized and imperial pretensions of Western Europe. Offering a freshly-researched text based on the writer''s original documents, this edition presents a classic of early modernist fiction in a version that, for the first time, recovers Conrad''s preferred wordings, punctuation and narrative structure.
