説明
This powerful novel of youth caught up in the ideological conflicts of war and revolution is Koestler's culminating vision of our century's tragic history. Penetrating even beyond the nightmare politics of DARNKESS AT NOON, it probes deep into the shattered consciousness of a young European Communist broken by Nazi torture. As it dissects a commitment in which the most profound guild and self-deception have merged with the highest idealism it builds to a climax of unmatched psychological suspense and symbolic force.
