Pretty incredible that English was Conrad’s second language yet he was able to produce this work of art, really vivid beautiful dark imagery

I need time to process this.

This is a short story that packs a punch. It's a story of an adventure through unknown waters and unknown lands into the mystery of the heart of men.

Pretty good book - much more interesting than I expected. Some nice deep themes and stuff going on. But dood - way too short. I was just really gettin' going when it like, ended.
