Edition reviewed: Heart of Darkness and Other Tales (Oxford World's Classics)
Excellent edition of four of Conrad's stories, culminating in Heart of Darkness. The footnotes are detailed, insightful and extremely helpful in understanding the text. I bought this to read Heart of Darkness, but reading the three other tales was helpful in setting the more famous work in context.
