书籍简介

柯林斯公司自豪地推出其新系列的受喜爱的基本经典作品

描写一家英国贸易公司委托小说中的“我”到非洲丛林寻找该公司失踪的贸易代表库尔茨，当找到时，发现其已经变疯并很快死去。作者借寻找的经历描写了殖民者在非洲大陆的感受。黑暗之心表面上指非洲大陆的腹地，同时也比喻了在这片土地上受到腐蚀的人心的黑暗

HarperCollins 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

出生于波兰的约瑟夫-康拉德被认为是一位极具影响力的作家，他的作品被看作是现代主义文学的先驱。他在《黑暗之心》和《密探》等小说中对人类状况的悲剧性洞察力是同时代人无法比拟的。

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.
