The Thames shimmers under a cloak of fog, a veil hiding a world far removed. A young Marlow joins a group of weary sailors, their faces etched with a story yet untold. As the embers glow, a low murmur begins - a tale of a steamer captain venturing deep into the heart of Africa. Civilization crumbles as Marlow navigates a brutal landscape, the relentless sun a harsh spotlight on the ruthless pursuit of ivory. Whispers of a charismatic ivory trader named Kurtz, a man revered and feared, reach Marlow's ears. Is Kurtz a beacon of hope in the wilderness, or a chilling embodiment of darkness? Embark on a journey into the human condition, where savagery lurks beneath a thin veneer, and the river's embrace holds a terrifying secret. This is Heart of Darkness.
