Описание: This was the third novel of Arthur Koestler`s trilogy on ends and means - the other two are THE GLADIATORS and DARKNESS AT NOON - and the first he wrote in English. The central theme is the conflict between morality and expediency, and in this novel Koestler worked it out in terms of individual psychology.

Описание: The Indispensable Intellectual. Best known as the author of the classic `Darkness at Noon`, Koestler was one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals, involved in and commenting on almost every political movement of the twentieth century. Without sentimentality, Scammell gives a full account of Koestler`s turbulent private life. This book creates an indelible portrait of this brilliant, unpredictable, and talented writer, once memorably described as `one third blackguard, one third lunatic, and one third genius`.

Описание: Originally published in 1941, Arthur Koestler's modern masterpiece, "Darkness At Noon, " is a powerful and haunting portrait of a Communist revolutionary caught in the vicious fray of the Moscow show trials of the late 1930s.

During Stalin's purges, Nicholas Rubashov, an aging revolutionary, is imprisoned and psychologically tortured by the party he has devoted his life to. Under mounting pressure to confess to crimes he did not commit, Rubashov relives a career that embodies the ironies and betrayals of a revolutionary dictatorship that believes it is an instrument of liberation.

A seminal work of twentieth-century literature, "Darkness At Noon" is a penetrating exploration of the moral danger inherent in a system that is willing to enforce its beliefs by any means necessary.
