    Heart of Darkness is most likely Joseph Conrad’s most well-read and influential novel. As he narrates his experiences as a steamship captain on his journey up the Congo River, Conrad’s narrator Marlowe draws his listeners into a powerful critical examination of European imperialism in Africa. His search to discover the identity of the enigmatic Kurtz provides Conrad with a broad canvas on which to paint a devastating portrait of the European colonial enterprise. We will use the Penguin Classics version of the text.
