The journey exposes the violence and hypocrisy of European colonialism while also becoming a psychological descent into obsession and moral uncertainty. Conrad's dense, atmospheric novella remains one of the most influential explorations of empire and human darkness. As Marlow moves farther from European civilisation, he encounters violence, exploitation and the brutal realities of colonial rule.  Kurtz becomes both a real figure and a symbol of moral collapse, allowing Conrad to explore imperialism, greed, power and the fragile boundaries of supposedly civilised behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216607756627,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421237756243,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/heart-of-darkness-2014-folio-society-2146","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
