JOSEPH CONRAD
HEART OF DARKNESS
THE SECRET SHARER
In this pair of literary voyages into the inner self, Joseph Conrad wrote two of the most chilling, disturbing, and noteworthy picces of fiction of the twentieth century.
Heart of Darkness is a devastating commentary on the corruptibility of humanity. Based on Conrad's own 1890 trip up the Congo River, the story is told by Marlow, the novelist's alter ego. It is a journey into darkness and horror-both literally, as the narrator descends into a sinister jungle landscape, and metaphorically, as he witnesses the depths of moral depravity symbolized by the agent Kurtz. The Secret Sharer is the tale of a young sea captain's first command as he sails into the Gulf of Siam-
Jungian shadow self of the unconscious mind.
Joseph Conrad boldly experimented with the novella and novel forms, filled his writing with the exotic places he had traveled, and concerned himself with honor, guilt, moral alienation, and expiation of sin. Heart of Darkness and The Secret Sharer encapsulate his literary achievements-and his haunting portrayal of the dark side of man.
