Joseph Conard wrote this line and it belongs to the novel “Heart of Darkness”

EXPLANATION:

  • The given lines are from the novel 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conard.
  • It was written back in 1899 when the King Leopold of Belgians treated people badly and in an inhuman way.
  • There was a growing protest because of this treatment.
  • The novel talks about the darkness a person has in his heart.
  • The language used in the novel makes the reader feel that he is fighting through the jungle.
  • So, we see expressions like 'shadows of forest slipped downhill' in the given lines as well.
