Heart of Darkness
Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by Polish-English novelist Joseph Conrad about a narrated voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State in the so-called "heart of Africa". Charles Marlow, the narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between what Conrad calls "the greatest town on earth", London, and Africa as places of darkness.
Heart of Darkness (EP)
Heart of Darkness is an extended play by no wave musicians No Trend and Lydia Lunch, released as a 10" vinyl in 1985 through Lunch's own Windowspeak label. The record includes four tracks that would all later appear on No Trend's sophomore studio album "A Dozen Dead Roses", which shows a significant change in sound compared to the band's previous releases.
