Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" is an amazing novel that treads the darker aspects of the human psyche. Conrad was way ahead of exploring the psychological doubles long before Freud ascribed scientific names to them. A fascinating thing about Conrad is that he only learnt English in his late 30s but still went on to become one of the most revered writers in the language.
