内容简介

除了呼吸和行进所要的空间外，他真的不需要再从荒野里得到什么东西。

他的需要是生存，并且冒*大的险，忍受*大限度的苦向前推进。

薄雾的黄昏、宁静的泰晤士河上，潮水的波盪撩起船长马罗内心深处的记忆，他开始讲述那一段在非洲大陆，所谓蛮荒之境遭遇的故事，他沿着刚果河深入非洲心脏，进入西方社会无法了解的黑暗，试图探究谜样人物——象牙代理商库兹的传奇。马罗全神贯注的喃喃独语，引领读者身历其境，感受异境的神祕、陌生的恐惧以及内心潜在蔓延扩散的不安。全书借由康拉德所选取的逼真纪录，营造出贪婪、愚蠢、道德秽污的疯狂状态，产生惊人的不祥和奇异气氛，从而召唤人性的深奥及精神的恐怖。

On a boat in the Thames estuary, Marlow tells his travelling companions of his reconnaissance expedition for a Belgian trading company to its most remote outpost in central Africa, which brought him on the trail of the elusive Kurtz, a brilliant idealist gone rogue. His account relates not only the perils he encounters on his quest, but also the deterioration of his state of mind as he is confronted with a world that is hostile and alien to him.

Renowned for its stylistic boldness and dramatic descriptions, Heart of Darkness is a stark yet subtle examination of the powers of the subconscious and the workings of western imperialism.

作者简介

康拉德(Joseph Conrad, 1857-1924)

原籍波兰的英国小说家，父亲虽为一名穷诗人，但在波兰文学史上占有重要地位，不过双亲都死于政治迫害，康拉德十七岁时到法国当水手，后加入英国商船，当上了船长，至三十七岁才开始写作，将他二十多年的航海冒险经验化为传奇文学，写尽了海洋的神祕，以及人类与大自然的艰苦搏斗，《黑暗之心》即是这样一部航海小说。其他重要作品还包括《吉姆爷》、《救援者》、《漂泊者》等。

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born English novelist, whose work, most famously Heart of Darkness, took a cynical view of imperialism when the British Empire was at its apogee.
