Charles Marlow, the narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between what Conrad calls \"the greatest town on earth\", London, and Africa as places of darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentral to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilised people and those described as savages; \u003cem\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e raises questions about imperialism and racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally issued as a three-part serial story in \u003cem\u003eBlackwood's Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e to celebrate the thousandth edition of the magazine, \u003cem\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e has been widely re-published and translated into many languages.
