What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
In the publisher's original green cloth binding.
First edition.
Complete with the original unclipped dust wrapper.
A smart copy of this political and psychological novel set in post-war Paris, exploring the disillusionment of European intellectuals amid the ideological struggle between East and West at the dawn of the Cold War.
Arthur Koestler (1905–1983) was a Hungarian-British novelist, journalist, and political thinker best known for Darkness at Noon. A former Communist turned anti-totalitarian, Koestler explored the moral crises of his era.
