Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A nice edition enhanced with 16 illustrations and photographs.Heart of Darkness is a 1899 novella by Joseph Conrad about a narrated voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State in the Heart of Africa. Charles Marlow, the narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the successful ivory trader Kurtz.

It has been listed among the best novels of the twentieth century.…
