Questo romanzo breve, pubblicato nel 1902, è il romanzo più famoso di Joseph Conrad, ed è considerato un classico della letteratura inglese. Lo stile narrativo, a tratti impressionistico, ha ispirato molti scrittori moderni. Il racconto è ambientato nell'Africa nera, e esprime una critica al colonialismo basato su scopi commerciali; su un piano più profondo tocca il tema della lotta intima del conflitto con la propria parte ombra.A questo lungo racconto si sono ispirati vari film, fra cui Apocalypse Now. Musica di Kevin Mac Leod.

"the sentences! the sentences! The very end makes no sense to me, though. Think he screwed that up. I also don't see what was so great about Kurtz. Seems to me that might have been shown better. But the rest is beautifully written, sentence after sentence. " — Chris (4 out of 5 stars)

" This book was a real challenge for me. Book group wanted to read a classic and someone picked this. "
" I read this as part of my Advanced Placement English class during my senior year at Roy High School. This book had a lot of symbolism. Everything there was meant to be "dark." I still remember it after 40 years. It kinda gave me a creepy feeling. "
" One of my favorite books due to the contemplative nature of the narrative and its dialogue concerning the human experience. "
" Worst high school assignment ever... but maybe it was the teacher and my group rather than the book... "
" So boring. I can see why people think it was amazing... but really, what a bore. "
" Achebe is wrong! This book exposes and condemns European racism and colonization, not condones it. It even, in 1898, takes a stab at sexism. Conrad was a genius. "
" A simple novella plotwise. The language is powerful, scenery oppresive and the themes intellectually brutal. "
" Brilliant, although you need multiple reads to uncover it. "
" Good start. By the end you get a bit drowned in the heavy 19th-century writing style. There are some good excerpts and thoughtful moral messages, if you can manage to pick them out from the rubble of words... "
Joseph Conrad (Józef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski) (1857–1924) was born in Ukraine. Raised by an uncle after the death of his parents, he educated himself by reading widely in Polish and French. At age twenty-one he began a long career sailing the seas on French merchant vessels, after which he went to London and began writing, using the romance and adventure of his own life for his incomparable sea novels.
