Heart of Darkness

Charles Marlowe is hired by a Belgian firm to lead an expedition up a major African river to find and rescue a remarkable European man believed to be in danger. Marlowe's progress through the dense jungle is hampered by equipment and supply failures, sly sabotage and open hostility by both petty colonial officials and enraged natives. His story becomes a saga of danger, cruelty, and madness.
