Heart of Darkness by Joseph ConradMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I return once again to this classic novella dripping in metaphor and an exotic, brutal locale as an indictment to extractive colonialism and thus the "horror" of organized and pitiless greed. The bloody race for ivory rings with a loud peal in these days of dwindling rhinos and elephants although protecting wildlife is not even a subtext, here. In this audio edition, Kenneth Branagh does an excellent job with his understated delivery tackling the voices and prose of this three-chapter classic.
