I saw on that ivory face the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror–of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge? He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision–he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath: The horror! The horror! Heart of Darkness (1899) by Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad tells a brilliant tale of Charles Marlow’s experience in the heart of Africa. Marlow narrates the tale of his voyage up the Congo River and his encounter with Mr.Kurtz, the commander of a trading post of ivory in Africa, to his fellow sailors. An inspiring and stimulating story exposing the hypocrisy of the project of colonization, this book holds a mirror to the darkness inside each one of us.
