Polish writer writing in English. The funny thing is that his English accent was terrible and the English didn't really accept him when he was alive. Now when he is famous, they like to think about him as an English writer and read his prose with an impeccable English accent. Very English. His name was Jozef Korzeniowski. :)
Tldr: Man becomes a sailor for work, gets excited around the tribal cannibals he works with in an Ivory trade, meets a guy named Kutz who has this trade empire built around ivory and is really full of himself. Main character doubts the Kutz flare at first but after working with him a while falls for his dashing charms, eventually getting to hold him as he dies. He returns home to harbor after his death and delivers Kutz's final words to some girl and realizes he kinda cucked himself.
This time upon listening to Kenneth Branagh reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, I was struck by how much Conrad's "voice" resembles that of the tales of Thomas Ligotti. Was Ligotti inspired by Conrad, does anyone know?
Imagine analyzing this book in class, it’s a treat. But as you get older and more creative, this book come into play. I really despise it now, as the reality of this is so underplayed 😂 gloomy and motionless
This book is the dreams both of the explorer and megalomaniac. To take strange lands and to rule them. If you have no inkling of this sensation, something felt only by the Alexander's and Juliuses, you will not enjoy this book.
The main character is a sailor, who takes a job for a Dutch trading company to do some business up the congo river. Everyone he meets keep talking up some legendary guy Kurtz, who seems to source an unbelievable ammount of ivory, with little to no support. The entire travel up the river is filled with scenes of madness, people seemingly comfortable in unreasonable conditions. This culminates in his meeting Kurtz, finding him as a small king of a tribe raiding for ivory. The only ones who seem to be of sound mind and dependable in the entire story are ironically the cannibals he has hired to crew his boat.

It's "ascetic aspect" not "aesthetic"
There are already a few other errors but that's the one so far that most changes the meaning!!

I like this narration. I listened to Scott Brick read this. American who did an amateur version of an English accent, which came and went. Mediocre.

A number of excellent synopyses and analyses can be found on-line and in books.
The main character is a sailor, who takes a job for a Dutch trading company to do some business up the congo river. Everyone he meets keep talking up some legendary guy Kurtz, who seems to source an unbelievable ammount of ivory, with little to no support. The entire travel up the river is filled with scenes of madness, people seemingly comfortable in unreasonable conditions. This culminates in his meeting Kurtz, finding him as a small king of a tribe raiding for ivory. The only ones who seem to be of sound mind and dependable in the entire story are ironically the cannibals he has hired to crew his boat.
