This is an audio-enhanced version of the novel with musical introductions presented by SoundCraft Audiobooks and Fort Raphael Publishing.

Long hailed as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, Joseph Conrad's tale of one man's descent into the mysterious and deadly Congo jungle to find a messianic ivory trader is a journey into the depths of man's own greed and quest for power.

Marlow, our narrator, relates his story of his slow upriver quest to meet the strange and enigmatic Kurtz, who lives isolated in the jungle and is revered by the natives he exploits.

An unflinching look at the contrast (and similarities) between the so-called "civilized" and "primitive" worlds, Conrad's novel has become a classic novella, regularly included on any list of the finest books of the past century.

Problem is when you try too hard, you just end up being dull and lifeless.

Would not have finished if it weren’t so short. In fact, I only had 45mins left when I checked the duration to try and estimate when something compelling, or even remotely interesting, might happen.
