I was expecting more about Kurtz's villainy, and less philosophy from Marlow. However, still a good quick read.

Un libro oscuro como su nombre, que me había evadido desde hace tiempo. No puede evitar comparar con escenas de la película Apocalipsis Now de Copola. Por otro lado, no quise leer una traducción al vapor hecha en Barcelona. La excelente traducción del escritor mexicano Sergio Pitol es de gran ayuda para navegar esta novela.
