  Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer. Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health. As a young man, he mixed in London literary circles, receiving encouragement from Andrew Lang, Edmund Gosse, Leslie Stephen and W. E. Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island.
  THE GENESIS OF 'THE MASTER OF BALLANTRAE': I was walking one night in the verandah of a small house in which I lived, outside the hamlet of Saranac. It was winter; the night was very dark; the air extraordinary clear and cold, and sweet with the purity of forests.

  What happens when a journey into the geographic unknown becomes a voyage into the darkest depths of the human soul?
  
  Join Marlow, a riverboat captain, as he navigates the dense, oppressive heart of the African Congo on a mission to find the enigmatic and powerful Mr. Kurtz—a brilliant ivory agent who has devolved into a terrifying, god-like figure among the native people. Joseph Conrad's chilling novella is a searing critique of colonial greed, disguised as a suspenseful psychological thriller. Feel the mounting tension and unease as Marlow uncovers the horrors of exploitation and confronts the moral decay that consumes both the 'savage' and the 'civilized' man. This is a masterful, haunting exploration of madness, imperialism, and the thin line between moral righteousness and primal barbarism.
  
  Considered a seminal work of 20th-century literature and the inspiration for countless stories of moral decay (including Apocalypse Now), Heart of Darkness is an essential read for anyone seeking powerful, complex, and enduring fiction.
