Mass-market paperback. Mass-market (rack) paperback. 216 p. Fiction set in the era of the Moscow trials. An aging revolutionary Bolshevik, imprisoned and psychologically tortured by the Party to which he had dedicated his life, relives the ironies of a career in a totalitarian government masking itself as an instrument of deliverance. Koestler, b.1905 in Austria, himself became immersed as a Communist in the 1930s, was disillusioned; then arrested by Franco's Fascists in Spain, liberated by British intervention, then arrested in France in 1939 for his political views. Released again, he went to England. Very good. Signed by previous owner. Light wear. "Bantam Modern Classics edition.1968" Later print.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. Cover art of "The Age of Longing" by James Avati (illustrator). A fictionalized account of Stalin's Soviet show trials, this small, 1960s Modern Library hardcover edition of "Darkness at Noon" bears no dust jacket, and has suffered a few bangs to the fore-edge of the boards -- grade it "good." It does, however, bear to the FFE the bookplate of Parley J. Cooper, now 85, author of more than 24 novels including "Dark Desires," "The Feminists," "My Lady Evil," and "Reverend Mama." Cooper also writes under the pseudonyms Jack Mayfield, Alex Nebrensky, William Freytag, and Dorothy McKinney. 267 pp., followed by 8 pp. publisher's ads. OUR SECOND KOESTLER OFFERING, "The Age of Longing," is Signet Giant 5985, a very-good mass market paperback originally priced 35 cents, first paperback printing January 1953 (the Macmillan hardcover true first of this tale of doomed love between a young American woman and a Communist official in Paris having been 1951.) Pages of "The Age of Longing" moderately and evenly age-browned, some rub to edges of spine, 350 pp. The pair now reduced from $18.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Ex-Lib. Text/VG w/light stain to pg 80, small loss to lower corner of pg 213, and few bent corner tips. Vintage 1941, Modern Library, English translation. Darkness at Noon (original German title: Sonnenfinsternis) is the best known work of Hungarian-born Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983). In 1972 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Book 1st published 1940 in German. Koestker, primarily educated in Austria, joined the Communist Party of Germany, then, disillusioned w/Stalinism, resigned in 1938. This volume is the story of Rubashov, a 50 year old Bolshevik, now arrested, imprisoned, and tried for treason against the gov't he helped to create. Protagonist Rubashov is a fictional portrait of Koestle's acquaintances; time wise the narrative is set the short period between 1938 & 1940, during the Stalinist Great Purge & Moscow show trials. Historically faithful in time, the novel names neither Russia nor the Soviets --- instead, it employs generic terms to describe people & organizations: for instance, the Soviet gov't is cited as "the Party", and, Nazi Germany as "the Dictatorship"; Joseph Stalin as "Number One",the menacing dictator. The novel covers the USSR at eve of World War II.
