Journaliste au coeur de la guerre - Jean-Louis Tremblais

Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' delves into the brutal realities of colonialism through the eyes of Charles Marlow. Marlow recounts his journey up the Congo River to meet Kurtz, an ivory trader of immense power and enigmatic character. As Marlow penetrates deeper into the African interior, he witnesses the savage exploitation and moral decay inflicted upon the native population. The novella explores themes of darkness, civilization versus savagery, and the corrupting influence of power. Kurtz, initially driven by idealistic goals, succumbs to the lure of absolute authority, becoming a symbol of moral degradation and the heart of darkness within humanity. The journey reveals the profound psychological impact of colonialism on both the colonizers and the colonized.

Das Kapital is a comprehensive critique of capitalism written by Karl Marx. The work is divided into three volumes. Volume I, published in 1867, focuses on the production process of capital, introducing the concept of surplus value and the exploitation of labor. Volume II, published posthumously in 1885, examines the circulation of capital, while Volume III, published in 1894, discusses the capitalist process as a whole, including the internal differentiation of the capitalist class and the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. Marx argues that capitalism is characterized by the exploitation of labor, leading to class conflict and eventual crises that necessitate the emergence of a new mode of production.
