Darknesshas been widely re-published and translated into
many languages. It provided the inspiration for Francis Ford
Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now. In 1998, the Modern

Library ranked Heart of Darkness 67th on their list of the 100
best novels in English of the twentieth century. Literary critic
Harold Bloom wrote thatHeart of Darknesshad been analysed
more than any other work of literature that is studied in
universities and colleges, which he attributed to Conrad's
&#8220unque propensity for ambiguity.&#8221Joeph
Conrad(1857-1924) was a Polish-British writer, regarded by
many as one of the finest English-language novelists of the
20th century. An early modernist, his narrative style, antiheroic
characters, and focus on the psychological lives of his
protagonists were extremely influential on other authors.
Conrad's experience as a Polish emigre to Great Britain also
brought a unique perspective to his novels, often set on the
outskirts of the British Empire with a focus on the costs of
imperialism and colonialism. Among his most popular and
influential works wereHeart of Darkness(1899),Lord
Jim(1900),Typhoon(1902),Nostromo(1904),The Secret
Agent(1907), andUnder Western Eyes(1911).
