Joseph Conrad · 1899 · Novella
A steamship captain travels up the Congo to retrieve a company agent who has gone native and god-like in the interior. The book's critique of European empire is unflinching; its reputation as a colonial document is rightly contested. Either way, an essential, uncomfortable text.
