Pour ce #VendrediLecture, gros appel du pied avec cette longue nouvelle magistralement âpre de #JosephConrad. #Simenon admirait Conrad (dont nous commémorerons le centenaire de la disparition en 2024), m'est avis que ce texte au cordeau l'a beaucoup influencé. Si j'évoque ici cette nouvelle, c'est aussi parce qu'elle est rééditée le 2 septembre prochain chez #RépubliqueDesLettres. Bref, foncez ! ⤵️

Every age is fed on illusions, lest men should renounce life early and the human race come to an end.

I read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad during my classics catch-up period in England during the late 1980s. While I remember little of the story, I recall being in awe of Conrad's evocative description of the steamboat journey up the forested Belgian Congo.
I am aware of the criticism of Conrad and the novel as racist. However, I was intrigued when I saw the audiobook version of Heart of Darkness "performed" by Kenneth Branagh (Audible Studios 2010). Would I still find the writing evocative? Or would the story be too racist?
The answer was yes to both for me. And while the derogatory description of African people and the abuse by their colonial overlords is repulsive, if I excised those parts of the book from my consciousness, I was still in awe of Conrad's writing.
One thing that struck me was that I couldn't tell where the protagonist Marlowe's sympathies lay. His generalisations are racist, though they could be said to be "of their time". But he also expresses disgust at the colonial brutality.
I'll leave this for others to debate. However, I don't regret revisiting The Heart of Darkness as an audiobook. And Branagh's "performance" had me relisten to it a second time.

Un grande classico che mi mancava.
Se il Kurtz cinematografico mi aveva affascinato, quello letterario è forse ancora più inquietante.

El gris de la entera superficie inmensa, los surcos del viento sobre los rostros de las olas, las grandes masas de espuma, arrojadas las unas contra las otras y ondeando, como enmarañados mechones blancos, le dan al mar, en medio de un temporal, una apariencia de cana edad, deslustrada, mate, sin destellos, como si hubiera sido creado antes que la luz misma".
