Heart of Darkness: and Other Tales (Oxford World's Classics)

Conrad's finest tale, "Heart of Darkness" tells the vivid story of Marlow's journey into the African Congo to meet the menacing Mr. Kurtz. This edition also includes "Youth," "Karain," and "An Outpost of Progress." Together, these four tales provide a panorama of Conrad's exotic vistas, adventurous narratives, and acutely ironic insights into human nature and the bases of civilization.
