Darkness at Noon

The Russian revolution and the purification of Russia by Leninism and Stalinism have produced diverse literary works. A novel "Noon Darkness" depicting the notorious Moscow performance trial during the reign of Joseph Stalin is a comment by Arthur Kestler on this case and is another attempt by Stalin's critics. Keep silent. In the novel, Keesterler described in detail about Marxism, and why exercises targeting "human regeneration" should be released in the slavery system, and despite its disadvantages, it still has knowledge It is attractive to people. The reason

Kingsley Martin described the novel as "one of the few books that survived this age" when he commented on "darkness" at noon. The New York Times stated that "Dark None" is "a wonderful novel, an effective interpretation of the mystery of the treason in trekking in Moscow, ... such a warm feeling written with such dramatic power" It was. Convincing simplicity, it is absorbed as a melodrama. "This book is very precious as a novel and a wonderful literary work and may be an interpretation of" repentance "against the internal knowledge of Moscow's totalitarian method. The scary part of these trials is not the fact that they occur - obviously this is necessary in totalitarian society - but desires of Western intellectuals to protect them

A few years after writing "Darkoon", George Orwell announced Animal Farm (1945). It's dark. Like the noon darkness, animal farms are not explicitly named Russia or Stalin; however, unlike Kehler's realistic political novel, Orwell is a perfect allegory. Its role is farm animals, symbolically representing reality people and historical events. In another type, the exile, Victor Kravchenko from the Soviet Union fled to the United States during the Second World War and wrote a best-selling memoir entitled 'I Selected Freedom 1946'. Together with Orwell and Keesterler's novel, this book will help teach people the reality of Soviet violence and totalitarianism in the West. During the Second World War, the Soviet Union formed an alliance with the United States and other Western countries did.

The noon dark was written in German, Kestler lived in Paris. That title may be cited by Victor Hugo in his book Napoleon le Petit. That means that the unnatural darkness that happened at noon is in the crucifixion of Christ. Kastel 's fellow, sculptor Daphne Hardy translated it into English when he lived in Paris and Paris in early 1940. During the decades before the French occupation when Kaiser and Hardy left Paris in May 1940, German sentences were thought to have been lost. However, the copy was sent to Swiss publisher Emil Oprecht. Korestler's Jonathan Cape editor Rupert Hart-Davis expressed doubts about English text, but agreed to publish a copy of the application to Opchcht without reply. At the tip of Hart-Davis, Hardy renamed Rubashhow (the name of the hero) to noon Darkness.
