  From Recorded Books:



  A fictional portrayal of an aging revolutionary, this novel is a powerful commentary on the nightmare politics of the
troubled 20th century. Born in Hungary in 1905, a defector from the Communist Party in 1938, and then arrested in both
Spain and France for his political views, Arthur Koestler writes from a wealth of personal experience. 

  Imprisoned by the political party to which he has dedicated his life, Nicolas Rubashov paces his prison cell,
examining his life and remembering his tempestuous career. As the old intelligentsia is eradicated to make way for the
new, he is psychologically tortured and forced to confess to preposterous crimes. Comparing himself to Moses, led to the
Promised Land but refused entry, he sees only darkness at the end of his life where once he saw such promise for
humanity. 

  Frank Muller's narrative expertise is perfect for this haunting work. Rubashov's personal agony becomes Muller's as he
presents Koestler's relevant and important questions to a world entering a new millennium.

  Darkness At Noon stands as an unequaled fictional portrayal of the nightmare politics of our time. Its hero is an
aging revolutionary, imprisoned and psychologically tortured by the Party to which he has dedicated his life. As the
pressure to confess preposterous crimes increases, he re-lives a career that embodies the terrible ironies and human
betrayals of a totalitarian movement masking itself as an instrument of deliverance. Almost unbearably vivid in its
depiction of one man's solitary agony,   Darkness At Noon asks questions about ends and means that have relevance not
only for the past but for the perilous present. It is-as the Times Literary Supplement has declared-"A remarkable
book, a grimly fascinating interpretation of the logic of the Russian Revolution, indeed of all revolutionary
dictatorships, and at the same time a tense and subtly intellectualized drama..."

  It is the sort of novel that transcends ordinary limitations, and that may be read as a primary discourse in political
philosophy. It is a far cry from the bleak topical commmentaries that sometimes pass as novels. The magic effect of
Darkness at Noon is its magnificant tragic irony.

  -Books of the Century; New York Times review, May 1941

  From Wiki:

 

  Darkness at Noon was probably the most influential anti-Communist book ever written. Its influence in Europe on
Communists and sympathisers and, indirectly, on the outcomes of elected governments, was substantial.



  The devastating anti-Communist novel, Darkness at Noon, propelled him to instant international fame.
