 | Heart of Darkness | Marlow relates his story of adventure in The Congo, when he is employed by a trading company, as a river-steamer captain to sail up river to find out what has happened to Kurtz, a man with a strange reputation for enlightening philosophy and extraordinary success in obtaining ivory. | Quite good, but Kurtz always remains frustratingly enigmatic, even after we meet him. Maybe that is the point though. Apocalypse Now was more exciting. This was a present from Larissa, and required fetching from the mysterious Kazakh post-office across town... This edition comes with beans and tea. |
