Darkness at Midday

Darkness at Midday is undoubtedly one of the most successful examples of prison novels, which is a special genre in novel writing. In his book, while Arthur Koestler questions the power-authority relationship through his hero Rubashov, he seeks answers to the questions of whether subjective "good" can also be objective "good" and whether a person can impose his own subjective "good" on humanity in the name of humanity. The famous novelist, whose own life story is as interesting as his works, describes the prisoners, prison cells and interrogation rooms, which he has placed in a masterful fiction, in as vivid a language as possible. Arthur Koestler, whom we know with his books such as Death Diary in Spain, Crusaders Without a Cross, and Spartacus, invites the reader to an adventure of internal reckoning in his novel by establishing emotional unity with the hero.
