Heart of Darkness

Whether you're revisiting Heart of Darkness or encountering the novel for the first time, Chloé Cooper Jones's insights will illuminate the enduring significance of Joseph Conrad's masterpiece.

Jones is a writer, journalist, and associate professor of writing at Columbia University. She's read and taught The Heart of Darkness countless times over the years, and her insights from years of wrestling with this book are now available to you, only on Rebind.

On the surface, Conrad's Heart of Darkness is just a story about Marlow, an Englishman navigating the Congo River to find the elusive ivory trader Kurtz. But those willing to dig deeper with Jones will find and unravel the many layers beneath the surface in this book and explore its themes and concerns such as the horrors of colonialism. And readers will discuss how, even though this book was published two decades before the rise of Modernism, these ideas became central to literature and culture of the Modernist era.
SNEAK PEEK

Here are some questions Jones will explore with you as you read Heart of Darkness on Rebind:
  • What do you think Marlow means when he says London "has been one of the dark places of the earth"?
  • I am interested, at this point, about the moral questions that we have been forced to explore by reading this book. What moral questions has it brought up for you?


What is Modernist literature? Why is The Heart of Darkness worth remembering and continuing to study? Why should I still care? Cooper is invested in these questions, and welcomes you to find out for yourself by purchasing this rebind.

“Often a book is called a classic when it changes our understanding of what a book can do. Heart of Darkness exemplifies this by expanding our perception of literature's capabilities.”

I am suddenly seeing what I was missing, marveling at the explosive possibility of interacting in these discussions. I didn't realize how organic the interactions can be. I only had to make one comment, read the response and then follow up, and all of a sudden I was learning unexpected things.

I've been reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra on Rebind, and it's magical. It's suddenly difficult to imagine reading without having this ongoing discussion where I can ask a hundred questions.

Rebind Reader

There are a collection of books that are a little intimidating because I never approached them or spent time with them. Having this guided experienced with great context through video and an AI personality to chat with really helps with that.

Rebind Reader

I felt like this was the best parts of a literature course, where you get the knowledge of someone who has really studied the text without the drain of having to write a paper at the end. For me, this is really kind of perfect.

Rebind’s use of AI to honor and preserve classic literature —and facilitate our appreciation of reading these quintessential texts with personalized analysis—seems like a worthwhile exploration.
