About Author

Arthur Koestler

Arthur Koestler CBE was a prolific writer of essays, novels and autobiographies. He was born into a Hungarian Jewish family in Budapest but, apart from his early school years, was educated in Austria. His early career was in journalism. In 1931 he joined the Communist Party of Germany but, disillusioned, he resigned from it in 1938 and in 1940 published a devastating anti-Communist novel, Darkness at Noon, which propelled him to instant international fame.

Description

Sonnenfinsternis (engl. Titel: Darkness at Noon), der bekannteste Roman von Arthur Koestler, spielt in der Zeit der Stalinschen Säuberungen in den 1930er Jahren. Der Autor thematisiert die Unterwerfung und Selbstverleugnung alter Revolutionäre, die „Verbrechen“ gestanden, die sie nicht begangen hatten. Mit der Veröffentlichung des Buchs im Jahr 1940 brach Koestler mit dem Kommunismus. In der Folge wurde das Buch von französischen Kommunisten bekämpft. (Quelle: [Wikipedia](
