The short novel ‘Heart of Darkness’ was first published in 1902 and caused a major upheaval in English-language literature, of which it is still considered a classic, and Francis Ford Coppola's film ‘Apocalypse Now,’ based on it, was and remains one of the most powerful works in the history of world cinema. Young Captain Marlow sails up the Congo River, through the wild African jungle, full of dangers and cruelties. He sails towards his goal – a small trading post in the dark thickets, transformed by the mysterious ivory trader Kurtz into a gloomy and enigmatic kingdom of terror… In addition to ‘Heart of Darkness,’ the collection also includes the novellas ‘The Shadow-Line’ and ‘Freya of the Seven Isles.’
