Darkness at noon

'Written with such dramatic power, with such warmth of feeling and with such persuasive simplicity that it is as absorbing as melodrama' New York Times Book Review

Darkness at Noon is set in an unnamed country ruled by a totalitarian government. Rubashov, once a powerful player in the regime, finds the tables turned on him when he is arrested and tried for treason. His reflections on his previous life and his experiences in prison form the heart of this moving and thought-provoking masterpiece.

'One of the few books written in this epoch which will survive it' New Statesman
