dc.description.abstractThrough six different narratives, David Mitchell in his novel, Cloud Atlas, introduces a world where hunger for power and dominance are prevalent. Through the constant dystopian view of humanity he offers social criticism in different but interconnected times, incorporating, among many significant authors’ work, a constant dialogue with Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. My thesis explores the colonial and dystopian fragments in Mitchell’s novel while corresponding it with that of Conrad, observing the imperialist enterprise presented by the two novels. It highlights the main aspects of colonial expansion, emphasizing the importance of religion, the restrictions of knowledge and the different perceptions of the process. It also points out the common issues of imperialism, such as civilization, exploitation and slavery, including Conrad’s view on the same topic.hu_HU
