I don't understand why the community gives this masterpiece such a low rating. Did the bad adaptation of the movie Apocalypse Now lead us astray?
Even though the book was written more than a century ago, the theme is still poignant today, and the character Captain Kurtz is striking and unforgettable. I was particularly moved by the ending when the narrator Marlow traveled back to England and lied to Kurtz's delusional fiancée that Kurtz's last word was her name instead of "The Horror! The Horror!"
