Abstract
Brebach compares the works of Rudyard Kipling's "The Man who would be King" and Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" which are two best known treatments of the nineteenth-century European imperial adventure. Among others, Kipling's dominant tone in his story is a serio-comic adventure yarn, from their names to their working class accents to their self-aggrandizing language and the ridiculousness of their disguises and actions. On the other hand, Conrad's is a brooding meditation on the nature and omni-presence of evil but share a remarkably detailed schema.
