From the Back Cover
Joseph Conrad is among the most admired of modern authors, and Heart of Darkness has proved a crucial and controversial text in the 20th century. This powerful and disturbing book functions on many levels: as an adventure story, a metaphysical thriller, a modernist detective tale, a mythical journey, a philosophical meditation, an indictment of imperialism, a reinforcement of racism and sexism, and an exploration of the human condition. It is a text which has challenged and compelled generations of readers and critics.
