Every page of Catherine Anyango's graphic novel is extraordinary and exceptionally beautiful. It doesn't matter whether you have read Conrad's work or not. This is how Rachel Cooke described the adaptation of the 1902 seminal novel by Otago captain and writer Joseph Conrad in The Guardian in 2010. David Zane Mairowitz, who compiled the text for the new edition, supplemented the story with excerpts from the author's Congo diaries. Joseph Conrad processed his last journey to the Belgian Congo in the novella, which he barely survived and which cost him his health. "Heart of Darkness" is considered one of the most significant European novels.
