This audiobook comprises two works: Joseph Conrad's Center of Darkness and his autobiographical A Personal Record.The opening of Center of Darkness sees Charles Marlow in fading light on the Thames Estuary, as he and his companions relax on deck, looking forward to the change of the tide. He tells of the time he converted 'freshwater sailor' on the River Congo, of his perilous trip upriver in a little steamboat with a band of white colonialists and a group of cannibals that calls for him closer to the coveted ivory, closer to Kurtz the rogue agent, closer to certain unspeakable rites and the heart and soul of darkness. Serialised in three parts in 1899, Center of Darkness was initially publicized in 1902.A Personal Record is a 'fragment of biography', an autobiographical work by Joseph Conrad, publicized in 1912. It has also been publicized under the name Some Reminiscences. It is a masterpiece of atmospheric writing and the main contemporary source to details his early on life. Conrad, Polish by birth, who continues on to become one of the greatest novelists of the English language, details his child years and adolescence, talks about his forebears, one of whom fought privately of Napoleon and ate a Lithuanian dog, the exile of his parents, the fatality of his mom and his marriage with Uncle Tadeusz..Thereafter Conrad magnificently interweaves the stories of why he went to sea and exactly how he had become a writer. Its digressive composition is precisely what helps it be a enchanting and amazing work about exile, future and art.
