“In Heart of Darkness, which we did a podcast on a few weeks ago, they go up the Congo. Joseph Conrad, his narrator, Marlow, goes up the Congo.”
“Conrad starts his third piece for Blackwoods magazine, thinking of calling it The Heart of Darkness, which he describes as a narrative about a bloke on a river in Central Africa.”
“In Thursday's episode, we'll be going back to the book that we began with, which is Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. A great subject for a history podcast, because it's one of the most influential works of fiction ever written.”
“Heart of Darkness, originally published in 1899, explores the moral dangers of colonialism and the darkness in the human soul, reflecting on the European colonial experience in Africa.”
