Introduction and Notes by Gene M. Moore, Universiteit van Amsterdam.
Generally regarded as the pre-eminent work of Conrad's shorter fiction,
Heart of Darkness is a chilling tale of horror which, as the author
intended, is capable of many interpretations.
Set in the Congo
during the period of rapid colonial expansion in the 19th century, the
story deals with the highly disturbing effects of economic, social and
political exploitation of European and African societies and the
cataclysmic behaviour this induced in some individuals. The other two
stories in this book - Youth and The End of the Tether - concern the sea
and those who sail upon it, a genre in which Conrad reigns supreme.
