Marlow travels up the Congo to retrieve a company man named Kurtz, and finds something at the end of the river that he spends the rest of his life not quite describing. Conrad's novella is short, dense, and still the most unsettling thing written about empire.
It's the source text behind Apocalypse Now and a fixture of university reading lists. Hand-bound in genuine leather with gold-tone embossing, this edition gives a slim, difficult book the physical weight it deserves.
