nSelected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time - Nominated as one of Americas best-loved novels by PBSs The Great American Read nIntroduction by Caryl Phillips nCommentary by H. L. Mencken, E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, Bertrand Russell, Lionel Trilling, Chinua Achebe, and Philip Gourevitch n nOriginally published in 1902, Heart of Darkness remains one of this centurys most enduring works of fiction. Written several years after Joseph Conrads grueling sojourn in the Belgian Congo, the novel is a complex meditation on colonialism, evil, and the thin line between civilization and barbarity. This edition contains selections from Conrads Congo Diary of 1890--the first notes, in effect, for the novel, which was composed at the end of that decade. Virginia Woolf wrote of Conrad: His books are full of moments of vision. They light up a whole character in a flash. . . . He could not write badly, one feels, to save his life.n
