Product Description
The dark places of the human soul - this is the region that Jospeh Conrad so brilliantly explores. In the steaming jungles of the Congo or the vast reaches of the sea, it is a man's capacity for good and for evil that is his enduring theme.
Heart of Darkness tells of a powerful European, Kurtz, who reverts to awful savagery in an isolated native trading post.
The Secret Sharer describes the terrible conflict of a young captain who is torn between his duty to his ship and his loyalty to a young officer with whom he identifies himself after the murder of a mutinous crew member.
Compelling, vivid, exotic, suspenseful, these are among the half-dozen greatest short novels in the English language. 'To make you hear, to make you feel, above all to make you see' - this was first and last, the aim of Conrad."
