Marlow is a seaman
who tells a story about his adventures in Africa years ago. He went from London
to the Congo River to arrive at an ivory station, and find a man, Kurtz. Kurtz
was a crazy and racist person who died while he was on the ship fleeing from
Africa.
I liked the part of
the story where Marlow arrives at the Belgian company. There, the importance of
Belgium during that period is explained. I like this book a lot because I'm
interested in history. I didn't know anything about Joseph Conrad but I would
want to read more of his books.
The story is a
little bit hard because racism, madness and violence appear constantly. That is
the reason why I would recommend this book to people older than me. For young
people it is difficult to understand the historic context, the causes, etc.
