This novel reveals the saga behind colonization at the same time exploring the three tiers of veils of darkness which the protagonist, Marlow, goes through - the veil of the wilderness of Congo, the cruel treatment of the European to the natives, and the abysmal darkness within every one of us for committing atrocious acts of evil.
