In a novella which remains highly controversial to this day, Conrad explores the relations between Africa and Europe. On the surface, this is a horrifying tale of colonial exploitation. The narrator, Marlowe journeys on business deep into the heart of Africa. But there he encounters Kurtz, an idealist apparently crazed and depraved by his power over the natives, and the meeting prompts Marlowe to reflect on the darkness at the heart of all men. This short but complex and often ambiguous story, which has been the basis of several films and plays, continues to provoke interpretation and discussion.
Heart of Darkness grew out of a journey Joseph Conrad took up the Congo River; the verisimilitude that the great novelist thereby brought to his most famous tale everywhere enhances its dense and shattering power. Apparently a sailor's yarn, it is in fact a grim parody of the adventure story, in which the narrator, Marlow, travels deep into the heart of the Congo where he encounters the crazed idealist Kurtz and discovers that the relative values of the civilized and the primitive are not what they seem. Heart of Darkness is a model of economic storytelling, an indictment of the inner and outer turmoil caused by the European imperial misadventure, and a piercing account of the fragility of the human soul.Shipping Notes

Best purchase in years . It actually works !!
Color: Grey, Size: King (102" X 90")
I don’t often leave reviews but this certainly justifies one . This is by far one of the best purchases I’ve made . I bought a Rest cooking comforter a few years back but couldn’t justify the cost so returned it. I now live in Florida and have to have the AC constantly on however the room would be freezing , yet my normal duvet would just trap all the heat in so I would still be so hot at night . I haven’t slept well in about 3 years since moving to Florida . I’ve now had this comforter / blanket for 3 nights and I’ve slept so well. It’s so cool to the touch and so soft . It’s the perfect weight too. I was worried it was just going to feel like a thin blanket but it’s not . I’ve managed to turn the AC up so we’re not wasting electricity and freezing our pets . A ceiling fan works perfect above . We put our standard duvet and cover over the comforter during the day to make the bed look nice and then just take it off at night. It’s crazy when you touch the standard duvet and then touch this comforter. It literally feels so cold . Well worth the money. I’m so happy with it .

An excellent all-weather option for all types of sleepers.
Color: White, Size: King (102" X 90")
I'm always freezing at night, but my boyfriend sleeps like a furnace. It's pretty difficult to find bedclothes that work for both of us. This comforter, however, is perfect. It's cool and light, not at all heavy, but it keeps us both at the perfect temperature. I was concerned that this wouldn't be enough to keep me warm in the frigid winter months, but our cold weather has finally begun and this has kept me comfortable throughout the night. I would definitely consider this perfect for use in all weather.
One of my favorite things about this comforter is how well it holds up to washing. I just throw it in my washing machine on a normal setting and it cleans it perfectly. I bought this comforter in white, so a bit of bleach and it looks new and bright white every time. Unlike many comforters I've purchased in the past, this one doesn't bunch up on the inside after washing/drying. I've had several more expensive comforters that looked old and lumpy after one wash because the stuffing inside had all settled into different places, typically the corners or one side of the blanket, making it look ragged. This comforter has been washed 3 times since I purchased it and still looks just as good as it did on day one.

Super Soft, Cool & Beautiful!
Color: Green, Size: King (102" X 90")
This blanket is amazing! Its so soft and cool to the touch. It makes you want to skip the flat sheet and sleep with the blanket alone. The green color is gorgeous! I've spent a lot of $ on expensive bamboo quilts this blanket is far better than any of those.

reviewing 2 years later, still in love with this blanket!
Color: Grey, Size: Queen (88" X 88")
i've had this blanket for almost two years - i bought it july 5th, 2024. i should have wrote this review much sooner, there hasn't been a single day in the past almost two years of owning this blanket that i have regretted getting it, it is an absolute must have for hot sleepers. it isn't constantly cold, but it is cold to the touch and you'll feel how cold it is as you move around. it mainly helps regulate your body temperature throughout the night. i've washed and dried this blanket so many times (with cold water and low heat as directed) and it still maintains the cooling effect the same as the first day i got it, it also hasn't torn or ripped anywhere. whenever i travel i always miss this blanket and i am so happy when i come back home because i have my blanket again, it makes a huge difference for my quality of sleep. i'm genuinely considering only packing this blanket and nothing else the next time i travel. also, despite helping me stay cool throughout the night, it's very comfortable and has a nice thickness and weight to it, so i don't feel like i have to sleep with a paper thin sheet for the same effect. what i like to do during winter (and i'm talking actual winter, like wind chill in the negatives) is add a thicker blanket on top to get some extra layering, but still have the cooling effect. 1000/10 i absolutely recommend this blanket if you're a hot sleeper and honestly this company in general, bedsure makes some really good stuff! this was a really good investment for me, yes it's an expensive blanket but it pays off for sure. as a goth person i do wish they had some darker colors for this blanket, ideally black, but when this blanket has helped me this much with my sleep? i took the loss in that aspect, and if the color was the only loss i think that says a lot! thank you bedsure for helping me get good sleep :)
