El corazón de las Tinieblas (Traducido)

by Joseph Conrad

Overview

El corazón de las tinieblas, de Joseph Conrad, fue adaptada por Francis Ford Coppola en Apocalypse Now. Aunque esa película trasladó la localización a Vietnam, la novela trata de la vida de Charles Marlow como transportista de marfil por el río Congo, en África Central. Ahonda en el modo en que la gente decide qué constituye una sociedad bárbara y qué una civilizada. También explora las actitudes sobre el colonialismo y el racismo que fueron parte integrante del imperialismo europeo.

About the Author

Best known for his novella Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) was a Polish–British author. Although not a native English speaker, Conrad came to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He revolutionized the English novel with books such as The Secret Agent, Nostromo, and Typhoon. Before publishing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent almost 20 years working mostly at sea as a merchant sailor.
