Srce tame

Srce tame

Joseph Conrad

Heart of Darkness (1899) follows Charles Marlowe, a sailor who travels the Congo River in search of the mysterious ivory trader, Kurtz. Lord Jim (1900) is the story of Jim, a young sailor whose moment of cowardice marks his life.

  • Heart of Darkness: The story, told through Marlow's perspective, explores colonialism, moral corruption, and the darkness of human nature. Marlow witnesses the brutality of European exploitation in Africa, confronting chaos and moral decay. Kurtz, once an idealist, becomes the embodiment of greed and madness, adored by the natives but destroyed by his own ambitions. Marlow struggles with his own understanding of civilization and savagery, while Kurtz's last words, "The horror! The horror!", resonate as a denunciation of human cruelty. The novel questions the limits of morality and the power of imperialism.

  • Lord Jim: As first mate of the Patna, Jim abandons the ship, believing it is sinking, leaving the passengers to their fate. Although the passengers are rescued, Jim becomes an outcast, haunted by shame. Seeking redemption, he goes to the island of Patusan, where he becomes a leader and protector of the native population. However, his past catches up with him, and a tragic mistake leads to his death. The story, told through Marlowe's narrative, explores themes of honor, guilt, and the search for identity.

Both novels, through complex characters and rich style, question human nature, moral dilemmas, and the consequences of colonialism, making Conrad a master of psychological depth.
