Joseph Conrad

Heart of Darkness Illustrated Joseph Conrad

Kish's rich, imaginative drawings and paintings mirror Conrad's original text and serve to illuminate Marlow's journey into the heart of the Congo, and into the depths of the human soul. Heart of Darkness is a text ripe for analysis and argument, formally and thematically; it explores matters of imperialism, racism, gender, and the duality of human nature. Kish's illustrations add another layer, and another voice in the conversation. Heart of Darkness is an essential edition for fans and students of Conrad's work, but is, above all, a piece of art all its own.
