书籍简介

很荣幸地能推出一系列颇受喜爱的经典之作。

“河道在我们面前打开，又在我们身后关闭，仿佛森林悠闲地跨过水面，挡住了我们回去的路。我们越来越深入黑暗的中心。”

在欧洲帝国主义的高峰时期，轮船船长查尔斯·马洛深入非洲刚果，去解救神出鬼没的库尔茨先生，库尔茨先生是一位以可怕而闻名的象牙商人。在探索未知世界的旅途中，马洛踏上了一段可怕的旅程，进入了自己的潜意识，被周围危险、可怕的环境所淹没。

他遇到的风景和人迫使他反思人性和社会，而康拉德则揭示了帝国主义的危险。

It is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

‘The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return. We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness.’

At the peak of European Imperialism, steamboat captain Charles Marlow travels deep into the African Congo on his way to relieve the elusive Mr Kurtz, an ivory trader renowned for his fearsome reputation. On his journey into the unknown Marlow takes a terrifying trip into his own subconscious, overwhelmed by his menacing, perilous and horrifying surroundings.

The landscape and the people he meets force him to reflect on human nature and society, and in turn Conrad writes revealingly about the dangers of imperialism.

作者简介

波兰出生的约瑟夫·康拉德被认为是一位极具影响力的作家，他的作品被视为现代主义文学的先驱。他在《黑暗之心》和《秘密特工》等小说中对人类处境的悲剧性洞察是他的同时代作家所无法比拟的。

Polish-born Joseph Conrad is regarded as a highly influential author, and his works are seen as a precursor to modernist literature. His often tragic insight into the human condition in novels such as Heart of Darkness and The Secret Agent is unrivalled by his contemporaries.
