Marlow, a seaman, tells of a journey up the Congo. His goal is the troubled European and ivory trader Kurtz.

Joseph Conrad''s enduring portrait of the ugliness of colonialism in a deluxe edition with a gripping cover by Hellboy artist Mike Mignola. Nominated as one of Americas best-loved novels by PBSs The Great American ReadHeart of Darkness is the thrilling tale of Marlow, a seaman and wanderer recounting his physical and psychological journey in search of the infamous ivory trader Kurtz.
