Summary

'An Outpost of Progress' is a short story written by Joseph Conrad, drawing on his own experience in Congo. The story deals with two European men, named Kayerts and Carlier, who are assigned to a trading post in a remote part of the African Jungle. There they take part in ivory trading, hoping to financially benefit the company as well as themselves. With no specific tasks or important things to be done, they both become increasingly isolated and demoralized as time goes by.

But once murder is in the mind of someone and the dark plan evolved, the setting can be anywhere. It can even take place in a well lighted, well appointed apartment in the expensive part of the city where laughter is mixed with the pleasant talk of four people.
