Is this similar to Moby-Dick? I watched Aguirre and Apocalypse now and they both reminded me of Moby-Dick

Super kino. Escape into the jungle, fuck some jungle bunnies, go insane. Kurtz was living the dream.

Heart of Darkness is actually an essential pessimistcore book even if unorthodox and not a philsoophy paper

Seriously, the ending will culminate sublime implications built up throughout the book, and leave you staring back behind a curtain of nightmares

It is much more powerful than the likes of Cioran or Mainlander ever could be, because those two reek of edgy depressed teenager, whereas Conrad is a lived, mature, world-weary man who has seen some shit, he doesn't completely succumb to despair, but you can tell the horrible shit he's endured has molded him into a sage of cynicism compared to those two faggots

It’s an essential in the “dead white male” canon.
