Heart of Darkness

I started to read a new book called "Heart of Darkness" written by Joseph Conrad. I've not read much so far since it has been very challenging to read and having to go back and read over each page once I have completed it gets very tiring and rather frustrating.

The plot so far is mainly based around a character called Charles Marlow who describes his childhood adventures as a child and mainly on his journey down the Congo River. As a child Marlow always wanted to explore and discover blurred out marks on the maps which had not yet been discovered, so he decided to set off on a journey to Africa, then up the Congo river. He took up the post of riverboat captain with the Belgian Company and sets off his travels towards Africa and further on to the Congo, he encounters lots of brutality from the company along his way.
