But the deeper Marlow penetrates into the jungle, the grimmer the assessments of Kurtz become. Described by Conrad himself as  something quite on another plane than an anecdote of a man who went mad in the Centre of Africa,  Heart of Darkness has long been regarded as a powerful appraisal of the fragility of civilization and the consequences of imperialism. This collection includes another five of Conrad s incomparable tales of adventure, including  The Secret Sharer,   Youth,  and  Typhoon.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46713909837982,"sku":"ADS-9781435172319","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781435172319.jpg?v=1776039874","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781435172319","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
