Srce tame

Joseph Conrad

Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella that explores the darkness of human nature, colonialism, and moral dilemmas, set against the backdrop of the Belgian exploitation of the Congo. The story is told through the perspective of Charles Marlowe, a sailor wh

Marlow, hired by a Belgian trading company, travels up the Congo River in search of the mysterious Kurtz, an ivory trader who has attained near-mythical status. The journey through the impenetrable jungle reveals the brutality of colonial exploitation, with violence against the natives and the greed of the European colonizers. Marlow encounters traces of Kurtz's influence - the natives worship him as a deity, while the Europeans see him as a genius or a madman. When he finds him, Kurtz is physically and morally broken, obsessed with power and devoid of moral restraints. His last words, "The horror! The horror!", reflect the realization of his own moral decline and the evil of colonialism.

The novel uses the symbolism of darkness - the jungle, ignorance and human depravity - to contrast it with the illusion of civilization. Marlow's story, told on a boat on the Thames, raises the question of whether "civilized" Europeans are different from the "savages" they exploit. Through a layered narrative, Conrad criticizes colonialism and examines the limits of humanity, making the work deeply topical.
