High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Heart of Darkness is a novella, written by Joseph Conrad, that is presented in the form of a frame narrative (a story within a story). It was first published as a three-part serial, February, March, and April 1899, in Blackwood`s Magazine (February 1899 was the magazine`s 1000th issue: special edition). Then later, in 1902, Heart of Darkness was included in the book "Youth: a Narrative, and Two Other Stories" (published November 13, 1902, by William Blackwood). The volume consisted of Youth: a Narrative, Heart of Darkness, and The End of the Tether in that order, to loosely illustrate the three stages of life. For future editions of the book, in 1917 Conrad wrote an "Author`s Note" where he...

The thesis conducts a thoroughgoing analysis of Conrad's Heart of Darkness by using Bakhtin's theories of the novel. The characteristics of the "form-shaping idea" and its transformation throughout the novella are discussed. The narrator voice is described as "cleft", in that Marlow deploys e.g. "low" sailorly jargon together with "high" literary language. The use of the former is further discussed in connection with the novella's "problematic", i.e. allegedly racist passages. The thesis also discusses the heterogeneous generic tissue of the text, e.g. the autobiographical strands of the narrative are analysed by looking at the proximity of the narrator's voice towards two key characters in the story: the harlequin and Kurtz. The...

When I read Heart of Darkness for the first time, I had never though that I would ever write a book about it. I think I am not the only one who found Heart of Darkness indigestible and incomprehensible for the first time. Joseph Conrad is a kind of writer whose works need be read at least three times or even more to understand not only the gist or main message but the importance of each detail. The more times you read Conrad's works the more you understand them, you discover that every little thing has meaning and significance. In this book I am focusing on the opposition between darkness and light, black and white, their role both in Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. Conrad seems to use the colours in a conscious way, he emphasizes,...

In "Adapting Darkness" Joseph Conrad's groundbreaking novella 'Heart of Darkness' is analysed from a formalistic point of view and compared with its 1994 film adaptation directed by Nicolas Roeg. It discusses how the modern commercial American film adapts a complex Modernist narrative as that of Joseph Conrad. The narrative structures of Modernist fiction and modern American film are very different. Indeed, the way of narrating stories in modern Hollywood cinema is moulded after the Victorian novel, which the Modernists were revolting against, something that complicates the adaptation of 'Heart of Darkness'.

In this book, I offered some insights into the connection of Romanticism and Joseph Conrad. Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner were in the main focus. These two works are separated by a hundred years nevertheless they have many things in common. For instance the theme: mariners go through crucial experience that changes their personalities. The difference is in the intellectual backround which influences the message of the works (the one is religious and the other is nihilistic). Another concern is how narration is handled by the authors. In Conrad many aspects of narration can be called as Romantic (e.g. adjectival diction, interruptions, admission of failure) for in Romantic poets these features...

Lord Jim, first published in 1900, confirmed Conrad`s place in literature as one of the first `modernists` of English letters. Set in the Malay Archipelago, not only does the novel provide a gripping account of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East. Nostromo is the only man capable of the decisive action needed to save the silver of the San Tome mine and secure independence for Sulaco, Occidental Province of the Latin American state of Costaguana. Is his integrity as unassailable as everyone believes, or will his ideals, like those which have inspired the struggling state itself, buckle under economic and political pressure? The Secret Agent, Conrad`s story of espionage and anarchists, tells of Winnie Verloc...
