Heart of Darkness and Other Stories

The horror! The horror! These are Kurtz's final words in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", the story of a man who travels into the jungle to seek his fortune and who instead finds an all-consuming moral and spiritual wilderness. Conrad's enduring tale served as a touchstone for many works of fiction inspired by its sombre theme. This collection also includes an additional five of Conrad's best stories: "The Secret Sharer", "Youth", "Typhoon", "Karain: A Memory" and "Falk: A Reminiscence".
