Reseña del editor:

An aging Bolshevik falls victim to the revolutionary dictatorship he has helped create

Nota de la solapa:

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..."
