Heart of Darkness is set in an atmosphere of mystery and menace, and tells of Marlow's perilous journey up the Congo River to relieve his employer's agent Mr. Kurtz. What he sees on his journey, and his eventual encounter with Kurtz, horrify and perplex him; calling into question the very bases of civilization and human nature.
An indictment of the evils of colonialism, and reflecting the savagery of life in the Belgian Congo, Heart of Darkness is informed by Conrad's personal experience of Africa.
Tales of Unrest is a collection of five compelling short stories in which Conrad explores the nature of the soul and man's psychological malaise.
