✍️ ChatZona's review
A short novel with a long afterlife. Conrad sends his narrator up the Congo river, and what he finds is not only the horror of Belgian colonialism but the horror within humanity itself. The dense prose and oppressive atmosphere make no concessions: the reader must work to reach the heart of darkness, and when they do, they understand why Coppola turned it into Apocalypse Now. A text that has generated debates on representation and colonialism that remain very much alive.
