Into the Abyss: A Journey Through Conrad's Darkness
A riverboat pushes against the current, deeper into uncharted territory. The forest closes in, pressing against the tiny vessel "like something solid." Drums echo through the night. Invisible eyes watch from the shadows. Somewhere ahead, through the fog and fever-dreams, waits a man who has seen too much-a man whose final words will haunt literature for over a century: "The horror! The horror!" Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella remains one of the most debated, adapted, and influential works in modern literature. Francis Ford Coppola transplanted it to Vietnam in "Apocalypse Now." T.S. Eliot borrowed its imagery for "The Hollow Men." Countless writers from Graham Greene to Chinua Achebe have grappled with its vision of human nature stripped bare. What makes this slim book so enduring? Perhaps because Conrad, a Polish sailor who learned English in his twenties, managed to capture something essential about what happens when civilization's constraints fall away and we confront what lies beneath.
