Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness retells the story of Marlow’s job as an ivory transporter down the Congo. Through his journey, Marlow develops an intense interest in investigating Kurtz, an ivory-procurement agent, and Marlow is shocked upon seeing what the European traders have done to the natives.
