Giới thiệu về sách nói này
First published in 1899, Heart of Darkness ranks as a landmark of modern fiction. A darkly brilliant novel, rich with symbolism, it remains as powerful today as ever. The spellbinding story of a harrowing journey into the depths of Africa reveals the corruption at the heart of human existence.
An enigmatic seaman named Marlowe tells of his journey upriver, deep into the Congo. As civilization as he knows it rapidly deteriorates, the prospect of meeting the mysterious Kurtz, an ivory trader, draws him along. Finally, Marlowe comes face to face with Kurtz—and unspeakable horror.

Giới thiệu tác giả
Joseph Conrad is recognized as one of the 20th century's greatest English language novelists. He was born Jozef Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski on December 3, 1857, in the Polish Ukraine. His father, a writer and translator, was from Polish nobility, but political activity against Russian oppression led to his exile. Conrad was orphaned at a young age and subsequently raised by his uncle. At 17 he went to sea, an experience that shaped the bleak view of human nature which he expressed in his fiction. In such works as Lord Jim (1900), Youth (1902), and Nostromo (1904), Conrad depicts individuals thrust by circumstances beyond their control into moral and emotional dilemmas. His novel Heart of Darkness (1902), perhaps his best known and most influential work, narrates a literal journey to the center of the African jungle. This novel inspired the acclaimed motion picture Apocalypse Now. After the publication of his first novel, Almayer's Folly (1895), Conrad gave up the sea. He produced thirteen novels, two volumes of memoirs, and twenty-eight short stories. He died on August 3, 1924, in England.
