Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness
内容简介:

The Fourth Edition is again based on Robert Kimbrough's meticulously re-edited text. Missing words have been restored and the entire novel has been repunctuated in accordance with Conrad's style. The result is the first published version of Heart of Darkness that allows readers to hear Marlow's voice as Conrad heard it when he wrote the story.

" Backgrounds and Contexts " provides readers with a generous collection of maps and photographs that bring the Belgian Congo to life. Textual materials, topically arranged, address nineteenth-century views of imperialism and racism and include autobiographical writings by Conrad on his life in the Congo. New to the Fourth Edition is an excerpt from Adam Hochschild's recent book, King Leopold's Ghost , as well as writings on race by Hegel, Darwin, and Galton.

" Criticism " includes a wealth of new materials, including nine contemporary reviews and assessments of Conrad and Heart of Darkness and twelve recent essays by Chinua Achebe, Peter Brooks, Daphne Erdinast-Vulcan, Edward Said, and Paul B. Armstrong, among others. Also new to this edition is a section of writings on the connections between Heart of Darkness and the film Apocalypse Now by Louis K. Greiff, Margot Norris, and Lynda J. Dryden.

A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

    《黑暗的心》一座巨大的文字迷宫,初读是从入口走进迷宫,走出来绝对不是一件轻松的事情。可是如果从空中俯瞰,就发现这迷宫的构造是如此的精妙有序,内容丰富,细腻入微却又布局井井有条。每一个细节、每一个人物和事件,都指向小说的主题。

    不知道阿契贝的批评具体是怎么分析的。但我觉得马洛对库尔茨的景仰其实是对白人的无意识的更深的嘲讽。一个具有人道主义思想和求真精神的白人还是会服膺于一个“灭霸”的“理想”与“智慧”,人性在精神面前让步和屈膝。证据是,库尔茨的暴行是显而易见的,而关于他的美德与智慧却始终语焉不详,是个传说。他在弥留之际念念不忘的不过是为自己在雇主面前求得“正义”,保住象牙。结尾格外隆重深沉的语言尤其加重了这种反讽效果——白人没有能力越过自己的界限对殖民暴行进行道德反思,承认并说出“恐怖”已经是最大的德行。康拉德的语言太好了。
