About the book

Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon follows Rubashov, a veteran revolutionary imprisoned by the authoritarian regime he helped create. During interrogation, he is forced to confront the logic of the political system, the compromises of his past and the demand that individuals sacrifice themselves to an abstract historical cause. Inspired by the Stalinist purges and show trials, the novel is a powerful exploration of ideology, conscience, totalitarianism and political betrayal.
