BOOK OF THE DAY

"Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad is a novella that explores the dark side of human nature through the journey of the protagonist, Marlow, into the heart of the African Congo. The story is framed as a narrative within a narrative, with Marlow recounting his experiences to a group of men aboard a ship.

The novella delves into themes of imperialism, racism, and the moral ambiguity of human actions. As Marlow travels deeper into the Congo, he encounters the brutal exploitation of the African people and witnesses the destructive impact of European colonization. The character of Kurtz, a mysterious ivory trader, serves as a symbol of the corruption and madness that can result from unchecked power.

The narrative is layered with symbolism and metaphors, creating a rich and complex exploration of the human psyche. Conrad's vivid prose and evocative descriptions contribute to the haunting atmosphere of the story. "Heart of Darkness" has been widely studied and analyzed for its literary significance and its commentary on the darker aspects of human civilization.
