Heart of Darkness stands as one of the most influential novels in English literature on imperialism and racism. The protagonist signs up to become the captain of a Congo riverboat for a Belgian company that is never named. Marlow witnesses first-hand the brutality of the methods employed by the company, which has enslaved the native population. This commentary on ambition and morality remains one of the finest books of its kind.
