DESCARGA
Heart of Darkness
あらすじ
Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novella follows sailor Charles Marlow as he narrates his expedition as a steamer captain working for a Belgian company deep into the African interior. His mission is to locate Kurtz, an ivory trader stationed upriver, whose disappearance is tied to the mystery of having “gone native.” As Marlow travels inland, the story examines the forces of European colonialism and the exercise of power in distant territories. It raises questions about morality and the thin line between what is considered “civilized” and what is labeled “savage,” presenting imperial ambition as something shadowed by darkness at both ends of the voyage.
