Joseph Conrad wrote "The Heart of Darkness".
It's worth reading.
It's also worth thinking about.
This isn't the easiest story to read, and only partially because of the style in which it's written. I'm not stumped by heavy writing styles, and actually enjoy them as long as they serve the purpose of making the story more powerful, or fitting the genre better. Conrad wrote this story in what looks like broken English, almost a stream of consciousness manner. It works well, but I don't think it's the only way the story could have been presented.
But that's only a minor point. As far as the story itself, it's good. Damn good.
And "Amy Foster" is even better.
