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 recovers Conrad's preferred wordings, punctuation and narrative structure. 600 10 $a Conrad, Joseph, $d 1857-1924. $t Heart of darkness. 650 0 $a Europeans $z Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trading posts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Degeneration $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imperialism $v Fiction. 630 07 $a Heart of darkness (Conrad, Joseph) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356668 700 1 $a Knowles, Owen, $e editor. 700 1 $a Simmons, Allan, $d 1955- $e editor. 830 0 $a Cambridge edition of the works of Joseph Conrad. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403014257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5EFA1A9026B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
