"In the classic form of an adventure story, this short novel journeys deep into the human soul to explore man's infinite capacity for both good and evil. Five men who share the bond of the sea enjoy a jaunt on the Thames. The youngest among them, Marlow, the only one still follows the sea, tells of the time when he did turn fresh-water sailor for a bit -- when, in pursuit of a childhood fascination for a blank place on the map, he encountered the map, he encountered the enigmatic Kurtz--a European who had reverted to savagery in an isolated native trading post. In Marlow's progress from innocence through a comprehension of evil to maturity and self-awareness, the contemporary moviegoer will recognize the archetypal story retold in Apocalypse now. Rendered by a master storyteller, it acquires an especially luminous quality that sheds light on a great mystery of human existence."@en

"GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. The story of the enigmatic Kurtz and his outpost in deepest Congo as told by Marlow is an adventure story that examines the intent and effects of colonization. It remains one of the most controversial and profound writings of world literature. Joseph Conrad was born Jozef Teodor Konrad Nalecz Korzeniowski, on December 3, 1857, in Russian-occupied Poland. His father, who was fighting for Polish independence, wrote a poem asking his son to remain "without land or love" as long as Poland was enslaved. Conrad went to sea at sixteen and and served fifteen years aboard English ships. He became the captain of his own ships, sailing to Asia and Africa. He took up writing at the age of 32. It did not come easy: English was his fourth language after Polish, Russian and French, but he wrote with depth and beauty seldom matched. He was offered knighthood, but declined. He died August 3, 1924."

"This is the kind of novel that keeps working in your mind long after you have finished listening to it. It is compelling, exotic, and suspenseful, and it is far more than just an adventure story. It is a novel that explores deep into the hearts and dark regions of the souls of its characters, and into the conflicts prevalent in more primative cultures. It is also perhaps one of the greatest pictures in all of literature of the moral deterioration and reversion to savagery that results from man's prolonged state of isolation. Marlow, the story's narrator, tells his friends of an experience in the British Congo where he once ran a river steamer for a trading company. He tells of the ivory traders' cruel exploitation of the natives there.
