Heart of Darkness




Cover





“There was no joy in the brilliance of sunshine. The long stretches of the waterway ran on, deserted, into the gloom of overshadowed distances.”





“‘He is a very remarkable person.’”





“the dark-faced and pensive forest”





This is my entry into this years House of Illustration/Folio Society competition. The book this year was Joseph Conrad's Heart Of Darkness, a short book about a man's journey down the Congo, the savagery he encounters and ultimately his obsession with the legendary Kurtz. It's not a jolly book.
