摘　　要：This article analyzes why Conrad’s fiction tells more truthful history than historians by reviewing the loss of faith in historicism that can tell certain truths and correct culture with the development of the history of ideas and explores how the truth beyond time is revealed through the encountering between the self of Europeans and“the Other”of non-Europeans on the prehistoric African land.As“the Other”of British mainstream culture in his time and a historian of human experience,Joseph Conrad reverses the Eurocentric view of“the Other”culture,reminds Europeans of“the Other”within themselves,undermines the West’s superiority in its culture,and brings the prehistoric truth that has been forgotten by“civilized”Europeans back to them.
