| Publisher Description: 'I don't like work - no man does - but I like what is in the work--the chance to find yourself. Your own reality - for yourself not for others - what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means.' The story of steamboat captain Marlow's voyage on the Congo River into the Congo Free State, where he meets and becomes fascinated by Mr Kurtz, one of the dominating figures of the region.. The book is a rich blend of adventure, human psychology and character development The novella is one of the most discussed books in literature and is controversial for its depiction of the African characters in the story and has been accused of dehumanising the African people.
