"This short book is one of the greatest examples of modern literature."

"Malcolm Bradbury "In Heart of Darkness, Marlow's journey through the Congo has been compared to Dante's journey through the depths of Hell, and it is a fair comparison."

"David Lodge-Sinan Fişek translation, with author's note on the book and the Congo diary, foreword and afterword by Nicolas Tredell, and chronology of the author and the period.

A monumental turning point for modern literature, Heart of Darkness reveals how thin the thread that holds civilization together is.

Written by Joseph Conrad in the last year of the 19th century, Heart of Darkness is an overture to the wars that marked one of the bloodiest centuries in history, the chasms opened by advancing technology, and the societies turned upside down by modernity.

Traveling to the Belgian Congo branches of the trading company they are assigned to find the mysterious Kurtz, Marlow encounters unexpected horrors in this land of darkness.

As Marlow makes his way towards Kurtz, he realizes that his trust in civilization and in himself is crumbling.Considered Conrad's masterpiece, this novel, which influenced writers such as William Golding and George Orwell, depicts both the values of the time and the destruction caused by imperialism.

Heart of Darkness engraved Africa as a symbolic image in the minds of Europeans.
