Hello, Purba. Thank you very much for this video, I always finch from reading classical novel as I have problems understanding antiquated language. Now, knowing about the content, I will give it another try. Furthermore, I understand why they used the name "Kurtz" for the colonel who became mad in the war and did similar things like the figure in the novel in the famous film "Apocalypse Now". Kind regards from Austria, Europe.
