Heart of Darkness

Great story.

I never finished this in college. It was wasted on my youth. Now it seems more vivid. Then just dull.

Reading Heart of Darkness was an intense and thought-provoking experience. The narrative pulled me in with its eerie atmosphere and layered storytelling, and Marlow’s journey down the Congo River felt like a descent into something far deeper than just the jungle. It’s not a fast-paced book, but the writing is dense and meaningful, rewarding careful reading. I found myself highlighting passages just to sit with them. If you’re someone who enjoys unpacking deeper meanings and literary themes, this one really delivers. The physical edition I got had a sturdy binding and clear, readable font, which made it easier to get through such a heavy text. It’s a great value for a classic novel, and it also makes a thoughtful gift for literature students or anyone who enjoys timeless philosophical reads. That said, it’s not light entertainment — it’s a serious book with a serious tone. But if you’re in the right headspace, it’s a powerful, unforgettable read.

Amazing person, brilliant writer, and really the best political novelist and observer of the human condition until George Orwell. King Leopold one of history's nastiest, most murderous villains. Congo has not recovered to this day. Also recommend "King Leopold's Ghost" non-fiction account. Almost our duty as Europeans to read it.

This book is a must.. I love it!!

This book has a lot of grammatical errors, missing letters, and is poorly published with strange font and size of the book. The story is great, but it’s hard to read with the quality of the publishing

Very good story however the book did arrive slightly damaged with some of bumps and scratches on the front and sides. Overall however, it’s a beautifully designed cover and a very good publication of the classic novel. I’m sure the physical damage was a fluke occurring during storage or delivery.

I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my husband. He's a fan of Apocalypse Now. So now he's got the book in hardcover.

Very good all round service would recommend highly book very good quality

Conforme à la description. Usage scolaire.

A beautifully-bound edition of a timeless classic by Joseph Conrad. The inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now'.

This book is a classic I am only half way through and it’s a great read and only 5 € thanks amazon

Leggo molti libri in lingua originale inglese. Da un po' avevo in mente di acquistare questo famoso libro scritto da Joseph Conrad. L'ho trovato men che facile da seguire. Un po' per l'inglese involuto utilizzato ma anche per la prosa non propriamente fluida di Conrad. Ne ho abbandonato la lettura a più o meno un terzo. Riposa ora sul mio comodino in attesa di essere ripreso in mano forse ne futuro.
