Written several years after Joseph Conrad’s grueling sojourn in the Belgian Congo, the novel is a complex meditation on colonialism, evil, and the thin line between civilization and barbarity. This edition contains selections from Conrad’s \u003ci\u003eCongo Diary\u003c\/i\u003e of 1890—the first notes, in effect, for the novel, which was composed at the end of that decade. Virginia Woolf wrote of Conrad: “His books are full of moments of vision. They light up a whole character in a flash. . . . He could not write badly, one feels, to save his life.”","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":58357429272963,"sku":"9780375753770","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780375753770.jpg?v=1782745005","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/heart-of-darkness-9780375753770","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
