'Heart of Darkness' - a hellish postcard from a murky colonial outpost, founded on the author's own experiences in the Belgian Congo - is Conrad's most enduring work and the definitive literary portrayal of life at the sharp tail end of imperialism. Bonus material: Conrad's contemporaneous short story 'An Outpost of Progress', also set in the Congo. [Printed on traditional cream paper and set in comfortably legible print with wide, thumb-friendly margins.]
