Heart of Darkness (Deluxe Edition) by Joseph Conrad
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.4MB
Overview: More than a century after its publication (1899), Heart of Darkness remains an indisputably classic text and arguably Conrad’s finest work.
This extensively revised Norton Critical Edition includes new materials that convey nineteenth-century attitudes toward imperialism as well as the concerns of Conrad’s contemporaries about King Leopold’s exploitation of his African domain. New to the Fourth Edition are excerpts from Adam Hochschild’s recent book, King Leopold’s Ghost, and from Sir Roger Casement’s influential “Congo Report” on Leopold’s atrocities. “Backgrounds and Contexts” also provides readers with a collection of photographs and a map that bring the Congo Free State to life.
A new section, “Nineteenth-Century Attitudes toward Race,” includes writings by, among others, Hegel, Darwin, and Sir Francis Galton. New essays by Patrick Brantlinger, Marianna Torgovnik, Edward W. Said, Hunt Hawkins, Anthony Fothergill, and Paul Armstrong debate Chinua Achebe’s controversial indictment of the novel’s depiction of Africans and offer differing views about whether Conrad’s beliefs about race were progressive or retrograde.
