About this listen

"...he seemed to stare... with that wide and immense stare embracing, condemning, loathing all the universe. I seemed to hear the whispered cry, 'The horror! The horror!'"

On a becalmed yawl in the Thames estuary, Marlow tells a tale of Africa. His job there is to find the enigmatic Kurtz, but his journey further and further upriver reveals the brutality of the white Imperialists who run the country. Established as one of the great English novels, and a story of mythic power, Heart of Darkness is rich in meaning – allusive, enthralling, and haunting.

A book that makes you want to wage an unrelenting and ruthless war against television for what it's done to our language. The way the author crafts a centence is exquisite and paints a simultaneously beautiful and deeply menacing picture. The narrator brings the text to life through a magnificent performance.

Exquisite!
