A masterpiece of twentieth-century writing, Heart of Darkness (1902) exposes the tenuous fabric that holds "civilization" together and the brutal horror at the center of European colonialism. Conrad's crowning achievement recounts Marlow's physical and psychological journey deep into the heart of the Belgian Congo in search of the mysterious trader Kurtz.

I've read this novel twice - once a long time ago when I was a mere lad, and again a few years ago when I was in Ethiopia - the second time it had somewhat more significance.
I don't often listen to radio-dramatisations, but this one successfully conjures up the atmosphere of the book - well worth a listen.
