<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>The Heart of Darkness</em> is a powerful examination of the savage nature of western imperialism in the late 1890s. With stunning relevance to the politics and tribulations of today's society, Joseph Conrad's celebrated novel is just as important today as when it was initially published.</strong></p><p><strong>The story follows a young man named Charles Marlow. Soon after Marlow joins the Company as captain of a riverboat for a Belgian group organized to trade with the Congo, he uncovers is a fate worse than any life he could have imagined in London. Throughout the journey, Captain Marlow cannot turn away from the stark injustices and atrocious crimes being committed by the company he works for. Reflecting many of the experiences Conrad himself endured, <em>The Heart of Darkness</em> spares no mercy when retelling the many atrocities committed by imperial commanders; because of this, the story has long been considered required reading for all those seeking to better understand the true nature of colonialism. Told from the gaze of an employee privy to the conquest of the colonialist venture, Marlow's experiences are considered exemplary of the brutal nature of human exploitation.</strong></p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><i>Heart of Darkness</i>, by <b>Joseph Conrad</b>, is a story that follows a young man named Charles Marlow.
