#47: FicusFan - I recently read King Leopold's Ghost as a compliment to Heart of Darkness and got a lot out of it. Hope you enjoy. Note, however, that the main history stops roughly with the death of King Leopold II, decades before the 1950's. I finished The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw ...

... bother rereading when I'm reading the series. All of the other Tolkien fans I know adore it and I can't figure out why. Heart of Darkness was awful and so was Frankenstein. ...I'm also one of those people who's cringed as they've read the list—so much Tolkien mentioned, I love Palahniu ...

Oh, I like Heart of Darkness - although our English teacher that year drove us crazy. He insisted there was some deep meaning to the scene where the protagonist throws his shoes overboard after they are soaked in the blood of one of the crew. There was one reason they were thrown overboard - they ...

... just a good story. 2. King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hachschild -- non-fiction history of the "Congo Free State" of Heart of Darkness infamy. It lasted 23 years and killed ~10 million people.

"The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest." Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. But I probably feel the power in this opening line so much because I know so well what comes after.

... (http://imdb.com/title/tt0386741/) French-british noir SF. Also rotoscoped. Sunshine (http://imdb.com/title/tt0448134/) Heart of Darkness meets Solyaris on a very sunny day in space.

... help me in that. Well, here comes the 20th/21st century: 52. Buddenbrooks 53. The Hound of the Baskervilles 54. Heart of Darkness 55. Young Törless 56. The Secret Agent 57. The Old Wives’ Tale 58. Kokoro 59. The Great Gatsby 60. Mrs. Dalloway 61. To The Lighthou ...

... of the book. Then it all came together and made all the of the first part interesting as well. I can't wait to get hold of Heart of Darkness now. I cannot believe I overlooked Conrad all these years!

... out of the question.) As I recall, we also watched To Kill A Mockingbird, Apocalypse Now (in conjunction with reading Heart of Darkness), and a video adaptation of a Flannery O'Connor short story. To add my voice to the chorus, I think we ought to be teaching "classic" literature to ...

... Tell us why THE CORRECTIONS was so darn good (and why it bored the snot out of me). I've read SECRET AGENT and HEART OF DARKNESS and I have to say, ol' Joe is not for me...

... Wrath, Jane Eyre, and The Great Gatsby. It seems insane! Yes, I didn't always enjoy the books we read for school - Heart of Darkness, ugh! - but I think the introduction of a variety of literature was very important, as I would never have been exposed to many of the ideas and history of ...

... review, I might bump it up a little. And wasn't Under the Banner of Heaven fascinating? So, I decided to re-read Heart of Darkness and I'm glad did. It was a little bit of a different book after reading King Leopold's Ghost, the descriptions had a lot more weight. But mostly I think ...

... his life. His writing always seems clunky and disjointed, somehow. Conrad, OTOH, is one of, if not my favorite, author. Heart of Darkness is one of the most prescient tales I've ever read. End of the Tether, Youth, Almayer's Folly, Lord Jim, Nostromo. . . the list just goes on and ...

I got mine on friday, and was reading Heart of Darkness on it, by a lakeside the next day. Obviously the display is not as big as Kindle....but it's cool! I got an app called "BookShelf" which lets you load in all sorts of different formats, everything from Project Gutenberg, etc.

... book, part 2 From King Leopold's Ghost, a nonfiction history of Congo. This is about Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. "High School teachers and college professors who have discussed this book in thousands of classrooms over the years tend to so in terms of Freud, Jung ...

Finished King Leopold's Ghost late last night. I had read this as a follow up to Heart of Darkness (as recommended here on LT, thanks!). It's a history of the Congo, where, under Belgian King Leopold II, the entire country was put into slavery and 10-million died from roughly 1880-1910. It also ...

... . The result - The Blind Watchmaker is out of print, as of today, with a planned reprint next year. *heavy sigh* Took The Heart of Darkness instead. Hope you're right, Django, and it is indeed a good book. :-)

... It was on my 2008 TBR short list. Nominated for the Pulitzer around 1974, it was interesting, but largely beyond me. Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad - Another on my 2008 TBR short list. I'd been meaning to read this for awhile, partially inspired by the movie Apocalypse Now. I ...

Would you like a shrink-wrapped Heart of Darkness for whichever you're keener to be rid of? If so email me your postal details. Edited to grumble that the touchstone isn't working. And edited again to withdraw the grumble and apologise for impatience.

dchaikin, I will be interested in what you think of King Leopold's Ghost after your recent read of Heart of Darkness . . .

... fat ones: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle The Garden of Last Days and I see my son, who has been urging me to read Heart of Darkness, has put a copy right at the top of my TBR-Soon! pile (as opposed to my overloaded TRR - Someday bookshelf).

... while reading them. They were so painful to read; I have no idea why I was compelled to read all ten that I owned. Heart of Darkness is somewhere on the list partly because the writing was so dense as to make it completely incomprehensible, and partly because it was thoroughly ...

btw, dchaikin, I saw on the other thread you have read and enjoyed Heart of Darkness; have you read King Leopold's Ghost? A great (but grim) book and a nice companion to the Conrad (who is mentioned in the book, of course).

... Mazlish (I know this book is a little weird for this kind of list, but it was such a good parenting book.) Then 3. Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad 4. Late Innings by Roger Angell (an old book on baseball, but it was somehow really nice to read. It got me out of a "readers ...

When you read Heart of Darkness would it have been more interesting if you were familiar with the context? One problem we have is that yes, these books are timeless classics, but like the Bible, when read out of context the lessons are lost. I love this book and think it one of the five or ten ...

... I thought there had to be something wrong with *me* because I found The Scarlet Letter, The Red Badge of Courage, and Heart of Darkness to be unbelievably painful reading. Shakespeare is tough reading for sure. Fortunately, I did have a high school English teacher who loved Shakespeare, ...

Does anyone besides me think the true Heart of Darkness was in the whited sepulchre in Brussels (or wherever Marlowe went to take the job) with the woman in black knitting like Madame LaFarge (I think) in A Tale of Two Cities? Knitting disaster. I love this novel.

Re: Heart of Darkness and people hating it The edition I have is one of those Critical Editions with a bunch of related essays at the back along with the standard notes and such. Usually I ignore all of that (a privilege I allow myself after spending years as a lit major) but for some reason I ...

... Sweet Bird of Youth/The Ugly Duckling Love on the Dole/The Wealth of Nations The Unbearable Lightness of Being/The Heart of Darkness

There are a lot of posts about LTers abosolutely hating Heart of Darkness. I'm with you Perkin, I liked it. I thought it was fairly accessible. I even tolerated Nostromo, which got off to a real, slow, start. Conrad is not easy.

Hmm I always wonder if I fully appreciated Heart of Darkness at sixteen but then again I loved Catch 22 at about the same age. If you are enjoying Conrad MrA The Secret Agent is interesting and sort of topical for our modern world. I have never read LeGuin. Where would be a good place to ...

Finished Heart of Darkness, and what a wild ride that was. Short but intense. I think it's good to read a book like that without studying too carefully the first time, or even thinking about it too deeply, but just let it wash over you. You can always come back to it later with more thought, and ...

... willya? I'm no good at the subtleties of human relationships and using intuition. Which bodes ill for my current read, Heart of Darkness. But it's interesting so far, i'm glad i picked it. How many "Marlow"s are there in literature, i wonder?

... read in school I hated, and I don't know if it was due to the book itself or the fact that I had to read it. As an example, Heart of Darkness has a special place in my heart as my least favorite book ever, but I've read comments from several people who loved it. It's important to expose ...

... in Barbara Tuchman's The Proud Tower. It's amazing how contemporary it all seems today. Lizzy, I think you will find Heart of Darkness to be well worth moving to the top of the list. I always hate to overpraise any work of art and set expectations too high, but for me this short fable ...

... a first year English class and then again in a second year English. I swear I will never again take a course that includes the Heart of Darkness. It's a short book, but it took me forever to plod through it the first time, and even longer the second time. I have the Norton Critical Edition, ...

I took a great books class last year and Heart of Darkness was one of the books. On the surface it just seems a story, but when it gets analyzed it turns into something completely different. I don't always want to think that hard. At the moment I can't recall all the psychology, symbolism, etc., ...

... a Conrad fan - the only one I've liked is The Secret Agent, and not enough to read again or anything. I also found Heart of Darkness hard to read, and I kept thinking I was missing something. You're right - it's very dense, it's not my kind of story - didn't like it. Whenever I say ...

... it first came out & did not like the story but it was only years later that i found out that it was based (more or less) on Heart of Darkness. I decided to read that story to see if it gave me any sort of insight about the movie. Well, not exactly an insight but, rather a confirmation that ...

... perfect amalgamation of story and substance, and not scope (ie., length) I'd lean more toward giving the palm to Conrad's Heart of Darkness and his The Secret Agent.

... out. I may mooch another copy. In the meantime, i have pre-emptively extracted The Dream Room, The Other Wind, and Heart Of Darkness. I shall decide which to take with me tomorrow morning. Decisions, decisions.

Heart of Darkness is actually one of my absolute favorite novels. However, Nostromo is definitely on my most hated list. Wow, setting up a story and giving background is one thing, but Conrad went more than a little overboard. It felt like I was reading an encyclopedia written with the ...

I remember reading Heart of Darkness... or rather the way I tried to go through it...

Heart of Darkness has been one of my literary stumbling blocks. I found the writing to be extremely dense and difficult to read. My focus kept wandering, making it one of the longest short books I have ever read. I know there are quite a few people who love this novel. I want to hear why ...

Heart of Darkness. It was for a high school English class, but on a unit where we had a choice (from a set list of books). I thought 'Oh, it's only about 100 pages, this will be easy to get through.' I got 3 pages into it, and had to keep reading those 3 pages over and over and over again ...

So far, I've read Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo. I just couldn't get into them, and Nostromo made me want to beat my head against a wall until the last 100 pages or so (when things start to happen). I recognize his ability as a writer - I suppose I just didn't much like his ...

jfetting - are you referring to his book about Africa Heart of Darkness as the disappointment when you say he redeemed himself? I read The Secret Agent last year and really enjoyed it. I think he is rather a dark and depressing writer, but excellent. What amazed me also, was that he was not ...

#64: (my second message to dczapka today about Heart of Darkness) Yeah, I almost listed Heart of Darkness as my "don't read" H-novel. Absolutely brutal for me to get through. But I have heard enough positive reviews about it, from people I respect, that I know that your "get or don't get" ...

... will have to go to the other H I've read from the list, but one that I think is seriously underloved: Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

Of recent reads, Heart of Darkness. Not because of racism, but because I found it just so dully written and unengaging. It took me 4 days to read even though it's so short.

Yes, Apocalypse Now was most definitely based on Heart of Darkness, although the location, time and situation was changed. I wouldn't call it a film version of HoD though. The book that screamed "movie" to me was Coraline when I read it a few years ago. Very specifically, it screamed for a T ...

I'm pretty sure that Apocalypse Now was based on Heart of Darkness.

Yes, now that you mention it, it was "The Ghost and the Darkness." It was hunting lions. I've not read Heart of Darkness, which could have spared me a bit of egg. Oh well, I'll just grab some toast and have "frog in a pocket."

It happened to me with Heart of Darkness in high school. Between my starting and finishing the book, a friend committed suicide. The despair and nihilism crept into my bones and never completely left.

Heart of Darkness I didn't like at all. Turn of the Screw was a painfully dull "ghost" story. And I agree with the Virginia Woolf comment above. Started a few of her books, never made it past the first few paragraph. The effort to understand what she was writing in each sentence was more ...

... latch on and enjoy it as well. It's influenced by Lord of the Flies (which I don't like), Apocolypse Now, and Heart of Darkness. It works around motifs of backpacking, Generation X and searching for identity, Vietnam, popular culture, escape, and utopian societies. In all honesty, ...

Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness was the longest 125 pages I've read in a long, long time. Yes, it was good and rewarding but man was it a long read.

Sadly, as they were both uni set books I couldn't just give up and bin them but, God, was I glad to see them go at the end of the course! ...

... it: The novel—one of the many novels—that came to mind as I read The Savage Detectives was Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. In just the same way as Conrad's Kurtz exists more as a rumor than a reality, as the verbiage he produces and which is produced about him rather than ...
