Heart of Darkness is an 1899 novel by the Polish-British writer, Joseph Conrad. Born in 1857 under Russian rule, Conrad gained British citizenship in 1886. At that point, he’d been in the French, then the British, merchant marine service for nineteen years, spending half that time at sea. He was a radical atheist, and in 1897 compared the universe to a monstrous knitting machine.
