I think that the Joseph Conrad’s book “Heart of darkness” is very emotional story which
show the terrible abuses in the indigenous population in Congo.

This novel has fascinated a lot of critics and readers, and opened a controversial
discussion about the rights of the “white” and “black” people. I recommend it to
everybody.
