Publisher Description
In Joseph Conrad's classic
Heart of Darkness, Marlow is a steamboat captain working on the Congo River for a Belgian trading company. Marlow is asked to retrieve Kurtz, a legendary ivory trader who has lost contact with the home office and may have fallen ill. During the expedition Marlow is struck by the Company's mistreatment of the Congo natives. When Marlow arrives at Kurtz's station, he discovers that Kurtz has set himself up as a sort of god to the natives he had once wanted to civilize. Just before he dies Kurtz experiences a moment of clarity and speaks his final words: "The horror! The horror!"
Customer Reviews
The narrator makes this book incomprehensible
The way the narrator reads makes this book horrible and almost impossible to understand. He whispers, SHOUTS, sighs, hisses... And this is only when reading what they are having for dinner... I feel this man is not really understanding what he is reading but is rather following some ancient theatre technique.
After over an hour of this I can't take any more, I give up on this one (and it has nothing to do with the book itself).
