A riveting journey out of the safe, familiar world into an increasingly strange, dark territory of physical and psychological danger. Seaman Marlow is sent to rescue Mr. Kurtz, a company agent, from the Belgian Congo. The river he travels down into the heart of Africa leads him into a chaotic literal and personal jungle where the values and ideas of civilization are tangled and relative, and questions about such things as the nature of man, or of good and evil, don’t seem to have an easy or correct answer. Based on Joseph Conrad’s own experiences in Africa, this story was also the basis for Francis Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now.
