摘要：In 1919 Morel published the book Red rubber; The story of the rubber slave trade which flourished on the Congo for twenty years, 1890-1910 which recalls at least because of the title to Multatuli’s/Eduard Douwes Dekker’s 1860 published novel Max Havelaar; Or the coffee auctions of the Dutch trading company. Of course, the first one is a non-fictional book, but Morel had the literate of the colonial horror on his side: Joseph Conrad’s 1899 publication of work Heart of darkness dealing with the colonial violence in the Congo, even though it is also not so fictional. Conrad wrote many more stories, quite a few of them set in the Malay Archipelago but none focusing on the colonial brute force. He deals much more with the individual fate of Westerners in the colonial society as for example in Almayer’s Folly. The literary processing of facts are even more evident in Lord Jim where Conrad for the second part of the story used intensively the 1866 published memoirs Ten years in Saráwak of Charles Brooke (Rajah of Sarawak).
