  • by Joseph Conrad

Heart of Darkness is about a colonial white man with an equal stress on all three words.

In Heart of Darkness Conrad sets out to test one version of reality – that of the European missionary/imperialist – against another – that native to the Congo – which seems to be totally alien, indeed incomprehensible. The European version holds, although it is blind and disoriented in the African setting, and patently inadequate.
