Aboard a British ship called the Nellie, three men listen to Marlow recount his journey in Africa as an agent for a Belgian ivory trading firm. Along the way, he witnesses brutality and hate between colonizers and the native African people, becomes entangled in a power struggle within the firm, and finally learns the truth about a mysterious Kurtz, a mad agent who has become both a god and a prisoner of the "native Africans." It's more exciting than it sounds, we promise. After "rescuing" Kurtz from the native African people, Marlow watches in horror as Kurtz succumbs to madness, disease, and finally death. The novel closes with Marlow's guilt-ridden visit to Kurtz's fianc e to return the man's personal letters...
