The Fourth Edition is again based on Robert Kimbrough's meticulously re-edited text. Missing words have been restored and the entire novel has been repunctuated in accordance with Conrad's style. The result is the first published version of Heart of Darkness that allows readers to hear Marlow's voice as Conrad heard it when he wrote the story.
" Backgrounds and Contexts " provides readers with a generous collection of maps and photographs that bring the Belgian Congo to life. Textual materials, topically arranged, address nineteenth-century views of imperialism and racism and include autobiographical writings by Conrad on his life in the Congo. New to the Fourth Edition is an excerpt from Adam Hochschild's recent book, King Leopold's Ghost , as well as writings on race by Hegel, Darwin, and Galton.
" Criticism " includes a wealth of new materials, including nine contemporary reviews and assessments of Conrad and Heart of Darkness and twelve recent essays by Chinua Achebe, Peter Brooks, Daphne Erdinast-Vulcan, Edward Said, and Paul B. Armstrong, among others. Also new to this edition is a section of writings on the connections between Heart of Darkness and the film Apocalypse Now by Louis K. Greiff, Margot Norris, and Lynda J. Dryden.
A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

读后感
Women as the Other Two women in black Since the publication of Heart of Darkness, it has weltered in lots of controversial voices. This book is regarded as a story about Marlow’s witness of the collapse of the civilization, which has nothing to do with wo...
评分据Wiki，Konrad1857年12月3日出生于乌克兰Berdichev市一个贵族爱国者家庭，他的父亲Apollo是位政治题材的剧作家并且精于翻译法文和英文作品。1861年，Apollo由于涉嫌从事1863-64年一月起义的准备活动，被俄国皇家机构逮捕，流放到莫斯科东北480km的城市沃洛格达。四岁的Konrad...
评分现实生活中这样的人并不少，不少人都是嘴上的梦想家，说着自己要成为怎样怎样的人，信心十足，可后来，渐渐地，当初挂在嘴边的话消失了。 开始于一段船上水手们交流故事，人们聚在一起总是需要一些话题来促进彼此的交流了解。马洛是一个阅历丰富的人，这一点无论从他的外貌还是...
评分在大多数英雄故事中，主角需要勇气和坚韧去赢得胜利，但主要是针对外部环境对他们造成的挑战做出回应。西方古典文学遵循这一传统，行为主宰情节，在时间递进中，一步步丰满三一律所需，完善因果链条上的动机与结局，试图让一切清楚无误。现代小说与古典小说的分野，令时间之线...
评分黑暗深处有什么？这是个很恐怖的问题，谁知道黑暗深处会有什么？也许什么都没有，也许有美好的东西，也许是可怕的东西，因为看不到，所以一切都有可能，但是很奇怪，对这黑暗中的千万种可能总是下意识的觉得是不祥的所在。 约瑟夫·康拉德以及他的这本《黑暗深处》保...
用户评价
始终觉得好晦涩看不懂。特别压抑
评分我第一次读完以后就只是觉得有点心累，但也可以给个四星，但后来跟老师聊着聊着就发现卧槽啊真的太黑暗了卧槽卧槽所以就给了五星了，因为太卧槽了我本来觉得Marlow和Kurtz的关系也挺那啥的，现在就只觉得特别可怕……人类真的太可怕了。
评分Depressing as usual.
评分为了教课又重读了一次。《黑暗之心》的确是康拉德浓汤宝，用最合适的长度写了他唯一的主题，极端状况下的个人。
评分不知道阿契贝的批评具体是怎么分析的。但我觉得马洛对库尔茨的景仰其实是对白人的无意识的更深的嘲讽。一个具有人道主义思想和求真精神的白人还是会服膺于一个“灭霸”的“理想”与“智慧”，人性在精神面前让步和屈膝。证据是，库尔茨的暴行是显而易见的，而关于他的美德与智慧却始终语焉不详，是个传说。他在弥留之际念念不忘的不过是为自己在雇主面前求得“正义”，保住象牙。结尾格外隆重深沉的语言尤其加重了这种反讽效果——白人没有能力越过自己的界限对殖民暴行进行道德反思，承认并说出“恐怖”已经是最大的德行。康拉德的语言太好了。
