Heart of Darkness & Selections from The Congo Diary

Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time â€¢Â Nominated as one of Americaâ€™s best-loved novels by PBSâ€™sÂ The Great American Read

Introduction by Caryl Phillips
Commentary by H. L. Mencken, E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, Bertrand Russell, Lionel Trilling, Chinua Achebe, and Philip Gourevitch

Originally published in 1902, Heart of Darkness remains one of this centuryâ€™s most enduring works of fiction. Written several years after Joseph Conradâ€™s grueling sojourn in the Belgian Congo, the novel is a complex meditation on colonialism, evil, and the thin line between civilization and barbarity. This edition contains selections from Conradâ€™s Congo Diary of 1890â€”the first notes, in effect, for the novel, which was composed at the end of that decade. Virginia Woolf wrote of Conrad: â€œHis books are full of moments of vision. They light up a whole character in a flash. . . . He could not write badly, one feels, to save his life.â€
