From AudioFile

In HEART OF DARKNESS, Marlow, the narrator, undertakes both an outer and an inner journey. The outer journey takes him into the heart of Africa, where he encounters representatives of every colonial stripe. Performing the work instead of simply reading it, Scott Brick emphasizes this aspect of Conrad's classic, clearly conveying class differences and a range of foreign accents, as well as pidgin. Conrad's prose is dense and complex, but Brick delivers it smoothly and gracefully. However, Marlow's inner journey--during which he confronts the mysterious Mr. Kurtz--remains too distant and intellectualized to fully capture the emotional charge of the moment.

Goonetilleke's edition does much to restore the context (in which Conrad was writing)...

First Sentence
On my right hand there were lines of fishing stakes resembling a mysterious system of half-submerged bamboo fences, incomprehensible in its division of the domain of tropical fishes, and crazy of aspect as if abandoned forever by some nomad tribe of fishermen now gone to the other end of the ocean; for there was no sign of human habitation as far as the eye could reach. Lire la première page

5.0étoiles sur 5 A True Classic, Mars 21 2004
Par Nick Tropiano (Havertown, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heart of Darkness (Audio CD)
I was exposed to Conrad when I took a course in Modern Fiction as an undergraduate, 20 years ago. I took the course as an elective to fill a lit requirement. It was one of the best courses I've ever taken, and of all the tremendous books that were assigned, this was my favorite. I have read this at least 1/2 dozen times in my life. I WAS glad, however, that I had a literary scholar walk through this one. I doubt I would have appreciated it as much had I not. I would therefore recommend the critical edition if you're reading this on your own. Modern Fiction - the literary period from circa 1900 to the mid-fifty's, is not everyone's cup of tea and can understand the negative reviews. The best of these works are dense, relative to today's standards but worthwhile - at least to me. Simply, they don't make'em like this anymore.

After reading Heart of Darkness, take another look at Apocalypse Now, the best film adaptation of a novel - ever.

Dark, hypnotic, surreal - Heart of Darkness stands alone as a unique classic of american literature.

4.0étoiles sur 5 An amazing novel, Oct. 7 2003
Par Evan Wearne (Lincoln, NE United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Great Books Of The 20th Century Heart Of Darkness (Paperback)
~This was the first novel I read by Joespeh Conrad, and I just finished reading it again a few days ago. This book is one of the most interesting stories that also examines the character of a man. Marlow is an older sailor who tells the tale of his time as captain of steamship in Africa. He works for a an ivory trading company, and his mission is to go up river to Kurtz's station. Marlow vividly recalls his thoughts and feelings from his trip up the river. After an introduction to how he~~ came to his position, we join Marlow in Africa as he is awaiting his command. It is here that he first hears of the extraordinary Kurtz. The manager, who seems greedy, and his brick layer, who wants to be Assistant manager, don't like Kurtz. But the more Marlow hears about Kurtz, the more he wants to talk with him. As he repairs his ship, as he sails up river, his anticipation builds. Nearing Kurtz's station, I could feel Marlow's angst when he believes Kurtz dead. The man Kurtz had been~~ was no more. He had become someone else, a man with power. The desire for more ivory had possessed him. In his last words, Kurtz reveals his opinion on life and the relationships therein: "the horror, the horror." The story remains one of my favorites.~

3.0étoiles sur 5 Psychological rather than political, Aoû 15 2003
Par S. Park (Bay Area, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Great Books Of The 20th Century Heart Of Darkness (Paperback)
Marlow, a British sailor at the turn of the century, recounts his search for a certain Mr. Kurtz, along a river in Congo, to an anonymous "I." The book is a monologue told over a single evening. The emotions Marlow displays are awe (towards Kurtz), disdain (towards the misdeeds of the company Marlow works for and the misdeeds of the "natives"), and fear. The intensity of such emotions draws one to follow the monologue till the end. I grew interested in this novel due to the ubiquitous references to it in contemporary political literature. The book I found however to be of psychological nature more than anything else. Never once while reading was I convinced that ideology was the crux of the matter. To the contrary I felt as if imperialism/colonialism were used as articles to justify the existence of the puzzle that was Kurtz. Conrad may have intended Kurtz, in his bleakness and contradictions, to be an embodiment of such ideologies, as contemporary critics like to put it. Such arguments naturally lend themselves to the interpretation that this novel is a critique of imperialism. It may well be, if one can assume that Conrad understood the highly politicized term "imperialism" as we do now. I suspect that this novel is instead really a critique, or a report, of "the present," the circumstance Conrad had experienced.
