From the back cover: Generally regarded as the pre-eminent work of Conrad’s shorter fiction, Heart of Darkness is a chilling tale of horror which, as the author intended, is capable of many interpretations. Set in the Congo during the period of rapid colonial expansion in the nineteenth century, the story deals with the highly disturbing effects of economic, social and political exploitation on European and African societies and the cataclysmic behaviour this induced in some individuals. The other two stories in this book - Youth and The End of the Tether - concern the sea and those who sail upon it, a genre in which Conrad reigns supreme.

I have read another copy of this book so this one goes to the avl shelf.

This wishlist book is on its way to the next reader. Happy reading!

Thank you so much for the wishlist book! I also really love the stamps, postcard and bookmark included.
