About this listen

Embark on a haunting journey into the depths of the human soul with Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad’s timeless literary masterpiece. Narrated with gripping intensity by Luke Oldham, this novella follows Charles Marlow as he navigates the treacherous Congo River in search of the enigmatic ivory trader, Mr. Kurtz.

As the steamboat pushes deeper into the jungle, Marlow’s physical journey mirrors a descent into moral ambiguity and existential dread. Through vivid storytelling and rich symbolism, Conrad explores the corrosive impact of imperialism and the unsettling truth about civilization’s thin veneer.

With moody atmosphere, philosophical depth, and psychological complexity, Heart of Darkness continues to challenge and captivate readers more than a century after its original publication.

Perfect for fans of introspective drama, historical fiction, and dark, thought-provoking literature.
