There are so many books that I want to read, I rarely read a book twice. Granted, Heart of Darkness is only 72 pages long but more is packed into those few pages than most authors can fill into a weighty tome. Marlows description of imperialism and racism is repulsive yet you cant stop reading. Marlow describes going into a thickett of trees for shade but he finds where the company has left the African workers who have been literaly worked to death lying there, waiting to die out of sight, out of mind. Its described with such detail, it may stay with you forever as it did me.

Heart of Darkness is a story about that journey that every man fears and yet know he must make, the one that takes him to the darkest depths of his own soul, where the mad man lives that he must destroy, and with him, himself.

Mr. Marlow must sail up the river Congo to find Mr. Kurtz, who has gone mad. Filmed in a Vietnam war setting as Apocalypse, Now.
