The Invisible Writing

The Invisible Writing is the second volume of Arthur Koestler's autobiography
Taken together, Arthur Koestler's volumes of autobiography constitute an unrivaled study of a twentieth-century man and his dilemma. Arrow in the Blue ended with his joining the Communist Party and The Invisible Writing covers some of the most important experiences in his life.

This book tells of Koestler's travels through Russia and remote parts of Soviet Central Asia and of his life as an exile. It puts in perspective his experiences in Franco's prisons under sentence of death and in concentration camps in Occupied France and ends with his escape in 1940 to England, where he found stability and a new home.

The first volume of Arthur Koestler's autobiography is Arrow in the Blue.
