I recall reading...and getting excited about - the first "novel" that I ever read..."The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad.
Amazing person...and an obvious "Agnostic".
Google "Heart of Darkness" summary...a short "Novella" that intrigued me!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.First read Conrad when young, and have ever since been captivated by his style and his darkly nuanced vision of life and morally ambivalent take on humanity. Fans of another Joseph — Campbell — might recognize that most of the ”heroes” in Conrad’s tales are of the “wounded king” type: fatally flawed in the Greek Tragedy sense.
Conrad’s family came from the same area, ethnic background and class as mine; we both had the same first language and learned English later in life; were both merchant mariners and later, journalists. I only wish that I was half as good a writer as he!
