"?Heart of Darkness remains one of the most honest representations of the brutality that accompanied the ?scramble for Africa?. In fact it goes beyond that brutal period of imperial greed in time, and in space, beyond Africa itself. Its publication was a moment of utter intellectual honesty, which at the time was almost unparalleled. For Hani Yared to be able to bring that work back to life, without taking away from its genius, is a masterful effort deserving of great praise. Not just that; Yared has elaborated, through his well-articulated and researched notes, in a way that has enriched this great Western novel with a viewpoint that is tailored specifically to the Arab reader. This unquestionably important addition made the Arabic translation of the novel, even for those who read the original version, a unique and enlightening experience. Add to this Yared?s ability to capture the intended meaning of the words through this clever use of the Arabic language, which preserved the original value of the text, a challenging task in any translation. Yared has done the Heart of Darkness great justice, and with this effort, has enriched the translated works at Arabic libraries. Yared deserves to be commended, and congratulated.?"

Hani did a competent translation of a masterpiece thus enabling Arabs who could not enjoy the original because of language problems. I have seen him toil over the book for months and consult linguists and critics over this and that aspect of the translation and I'm glad that the book enjoyed raving reviews
