Heart of Darkness

Descriere

Part of the Legend Classics series   No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence--that which makes its truth, its meaning--its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream--alone.   Regarded as one of greatest English novels of the twentieth century, Heart of Darkness tracks the aftermath of a disturbing voyage up the Congo River.   This provocative novel, inspired by Joseph Conrad's own experiences, touches on economic, social and political exploitation.   Almost one-hundred years after publication, this timeless classic provided the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
