Description

Darkness at Noon is a gripping and unforgettable novel about a man's desperate struggle for survival in a totalitarian regime. After being arrested and interrogated, Rubashov reflects on his past actions and the consequences of his betrayal. This new translation of Arthur Koestler's long-lost manuscript offers a fresh and complete reading experience, allowing readers to experience the full power of Koestler's masterpiece. Published in 1940, Darkness at Noon was widely acclaimed by George Orwell and has since been translated into thirty languages. However, its reputation has been based on an incomplete and inaccurate translation. The rediscovered original manuscript, now translated by Philip Boehm, provides a new and authoritative version of the novel, shedding light on the complexities of Koestler's work. With this new translation, readers can experience the full depth and complexity of Darkness at Noon, a seminal work of 20th-century literature that explores the darker aspects of human nature.
