I went through a Conrad phase several years back, reading 15 or so of his novels over a years time. A decade later this is one of the few that still stick with me.

This was a short read, but gripping nonetheless. It is a narrative of a British captain and his experience in the deep of Africa during colonization. Pretty intense, and sometimes confusing, it is an important lesson about the depths of people's hearts.

**uni read - lit in context**
A university read that I honestly didn’t really understand until I read a summary of what the book was about. Despite this, the way it was written is intense and is an incredible book, it’s just not one that I will be inclined to read again.
