Heart of Darkness (Illustrated Edition)

* Beautifully illustrated with historical images and atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, Heart of Darkness is considered one of the greatest English novels ever written. It's the fascinating tale of a white man's journey into the dangerous heart of late nineteenth century Africa in search of another white man who has 'gone native'. Both eerie and surreal, the novel is a complex exploration of colonialism, imperialism, and racism. The superb 1979 film Apocalypse Now directed by Francis Ford Coppola was based largely on Heart of Darkness.



* Just as gripping today as it was when first published over a century ago, the novel continues to be enormously popular.



* This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
