Centaur Classics & Joseph Conrad 
Heart of Darkness (Centaur Classics) [The 100 greatest novels of all time – #28] 

Dark allegory describes the narrator’s journey up the Congo River and his meeting with, and fascination by, Mr. Kurtz, a mysterious personage who dominates the unruly inhabitants of the region. Masterly blend of adventure, character development, psychological penetration. Considered by many Conrad’s finest, most enigmatic story.
