{"product_id":"heart-of-darkness-jv-editors-9781986839396","title":"Heart of Darkness","description":"This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jv Editors, Joseph Conrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1986839397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781986839396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Jv Editors","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125902045439,"sku":"9781986839396","price":9.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_026d21dd-d075-406d-8adc-759adf650fba.jpg?v=1687445217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heart-of-darkness-jv-editors-9781986839396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
