Content advisory. This book reflects the language and terms of the era in which it was written, which some listeners may find offensive.
On a quiet evening aboard a yawl anchored in the Thames, the seaman Marlow begins a story. Years before, he took a job captaining a river steamboat for a European ivory company in Africa, and travelled deep into the interior in search of Kurtz, a brilliant and celebrated agent whose remote station sends out more ivory than all the others. The further upriver Marlow goes, the stranger and more disturbing his journey becomes, until he finally meets the man himself. Joseph Conrad's haunting 1899 novella of colonial greed, cruelty and the darkness in the human heart.
