This premium quality large print edition includes the complete text of Joseph Conrad's classic tale in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition. With a large 6" x 9" page size, this Summit Classic Press large print edition is printed on heavyweight 60# bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. First published in 1899 as a three-part serial, Heart of Darkness is one of literature's most analyzed, interpreted and studied works. Ironically, Conrad and his contemporaries regarded it as a minor work, seized upon as a singularly important literary effort in the post-colonial era.A classic "frame story," Heart of Darkness opens aboard a British ship, with "Marlow" recounting his journey up the Congo River as an agent for a Belgian ivory trading concern. Set in the aftermath of the late 19th century "Scramble for Africa," when imperial powers laid claim to large swaths of that continent as colonies, Heart of Darkness takes place in the infamous "Belgian Congo," notorious for its brutality and cruelty. Marlow's mission is to travel upriver to the Company's most remote station in search of a man named Kurtz, the agent charged with running the station, amid concerns about the man and the station's operations. In the course of his disturbing journey, Marlow witnesses brutality, violence and hatred between colonists and native Africans and learns the truth about Kurtz, who has gone mad in becoming both a god and a prisoner of the native Africans. Critics have condemned Conrad as racist for his portrayal of the primitive barbarism of African natives, but it is difficult to find any endorsement of the view that white men are inherently superior. The story has traditionally been cast as a psychological study of the consequences of the racism of colonialism, and the long-standing view has been that the story is primarily a scathing attack on colonialism, but many cr.
