Heart of Darkness is one of Joseph Conrad’s rare and genuine masterpieces; an enchanting work of artistry deserving of the label in a thousand different ways.  It can be found on countless lists of the finest literary works of all time, and is one of his major achievements.

“Heart of Darkness has always been the most popular of Joseph Conrad’s novels.  No one seriously interested in English literature can afford to miss this book. As a central device, the parallel journey into both the heart of Africa—and the dark center of the human psyche, remains as transcendent as ever.”
