description: Esta es la novela en la que Francis Ford Coppola se basÃ³ para escribir Apocalypse Now. Marlow, agente comercial britÃ¡nico, se ve obligado a remontar el rÃ­o Congo en busca de su compaÃ±ero Kurtz. A medida que el barco avance por territorios cada vez mÃ¡s inhÃ³spitos, Marlow se irÃ¡ construyendo una imagen mitificada de Kurtz. En realidad, encontrarÃ¡ un mundo apocalÃ­ptico y tenebroso, gobernado por un cÃ­nico que simboliza la degradaciÃ³n moral y las contradicciones de un hombre ante la fuerza indÃ³mita de la naturaleza. / Woven around a minimal plot Marlows trip on the Congo river to replace Kurtz, a commercial agent who is gravelly ill Heart of Darkness is a tense moral reflection about solitude and mans struggle against the uncontainable forces of nature. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) introduces the reader to a hallucinating world where the darkness of the African jungle and the eeriness of forgotten instincts merge, creating a trap of annihilating power to which the characters will ultimately submit.
