Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of European colonialism, the story follows river steamboat captain Charles Marlow as he navigates the Congo in search of the mysterious trader Mr. Kurtz. Initially celebrated for his contributions to progress, Kurtz has become a god-like figure among the natives, leading Marlow to suspect that he has succumbed to madness. This exploration delves into the darkness of the human psyche and critiques the corrupting influence of imperialism, making it a seminal work in literature.
