The Heart of Darkness - Best Seller Readers (Paperback, New edition)

Conrad's superlative framed narrative is one of the most significant works of 20th century literature Truly a modern classic, this famed account by the seaman Marlow of his search for the elusive Kurtz, into the heart of the African continent, raises questions about the nature of civilization and the very soul of humanity. The book's influence has stretched beyond the realm of literature so that its most famous phrase--Kurtz's dying "The horror, the horror," has entered the language, and Francis Ford Coppola reinterpreted and reset the novel in his hugely successful 1979 film" Apocalypse Now."
