Author: Joseph Conrad

Amazon Description: "This significant piece of literature by Joseph Conrad is a moody, symbolic narrative that follows Charles Marlow as he retells his early days as a steamboat captain on the Congo River."
My Review: Thank goodness this novella was so short, because I don't think I could have taken too many more pages of this. It was just so intense, powerful, and disturbing. The most painful parts were how the "savages" were barely even treated like humans. To be honest, I didn't really "enjoy" this book (with the exception of the last 20 pages or so - LOVE LOVE LOVE the ending!). Now it's time to watch Apocalypse Now.
Rating: 4.5/5
P.S. Read this one on my iPad - it's great having so many classics FREE and at my fingertips...
