The captain Charles Marlow is tasked with traveling into the Congo in search of Kurtz, a commercial agent for a company dedicated to ivory exploitation who has not been heard from in a long time. As Marlow travels up the Congo River to the station where Kurtz is believed to be, the captain witnesses numerous episodes showing the cruelty and brutality of European settlers toward the natives, who are treated as mere means for enrichment. This work is an implacable denunciation of European colonialism and one of the most intense stories ever crafted by human imagination.
