Overview

Um romance assombroso que nos mergulha nas profundezas da selva africana e do turvo coração humano. Kurtz resume-o na perfeição: «O horror! O horror!» Aqui levanta-se o véu do inferno colonial, dissecando-se os limites da experiência hu­mana. O que é ser selvagem?
Marlow, um marinheiro experiente, parte, num barco a vapor, em busca do Sr. Kurtz, um enigmático e enlouquecido comerciante de marfim, em direcção ao continente africano. Nesta jornada física e psicológica, rio Congo acima, entre ce­nas de tortura, crueldade e escravidão, Marlow questiona e reflecte sobre questões e valores de essência humana e civili­zacional, o seu lado mais obscuro onde tudo é escuridão ou mito.

About the Author

About The Author
Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
