rhinelanderwaldo 's review for:

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
5.0

The symbolism of man's loss of ethical balance (my interpretation) when societal restraint and norms are removed. Have to wonder whether Conrad, when he wrote this, was aware of the degree of savagery by the European colonists in central Africa (particularly Zaire). He probably was.
