Regarded by most as Joseph Conrad’s masterpiece, Heart of Darkness is a tale of colonialism and apathy. The main character is changed on his journey through the heart of the Congo, and what he sees and experiences turns him into a different man entirely. He spends the majority of the time fascinated by the enigmatic head of the station, and his interactions are symbolic of a lot more than meets the eye. With mysterious storytelling and enough packed into the words to spend months analyzing, Heart of Darkness is a short read that can last longer than seems possible.
