Historia
Acclaimed as one of the great, albeit disturbing, visionary works of Western civilization, Conrad's haunting tale dramatizes the stark realities of Africa in the colonial period. Heart of Darkness reflects the physical and psychological tragedies Conrad experienced while working in the Belgian Congo in 1890 and is the basis of Francis Ford Coppola's film Apocalypse Now.

Classic Book Ruined by Scott Brick
Revisado: 12-15-10
The narration of this novel is intolerably bad. Scott Brick employs a transparently fake, inconsistent and downright comical accent throughout the book. Coupled by his typical overly dramatic interpretation and excessively sing-songy cadence, it is nearly impossible to focus on the actual substance of the book. Mr. Brick appears to be a narrator that listeners either love or hate. I have tolerated his narration (just barely) on a few non-fiction books and this was my first attempt to listen to him narrate fiction. I can say without any reservation that I will never purchase another book narrated by Mr. Brick. I fail to understand why he receives any accolades for his narration or why any author would allow their work to be narrated by a narrator who provokes such strong reactions, both positive and negative, from listeners. There are five other versions of this book on Audible, narrated by others -- I regret not purchasing any of those other versions instead of this version and suggest you not make the same mistake.
