Description
Darkness at Noon A Novel by Arthur Koestler is now available in a new translation. This haunting portrait of a revolutionary, imprisoned and tortured under totalitarian rule has been restored from the author's original German manuscript. Editor Michael Scammell and translator Philip Boehm bring us a brilliant novel that sheds light on the turmoil of Stalinist Moscow in the 1930s. Set against the backdrop of purge and show trials, Darkness at Noon follows an aging revolutionary as he is forced through a series of hearings by the Party to which he has dedicated his life. This gripping story explores the complexities of loyalty, power, and the human condition under extreme circumstances. A new translation from the primary German manuscript offers readers a fresh perspective on this international classic, previously translated from a hastily made English version.
