Six and a half steps to the door, whence they must come to fetch him, six and a half steps to the window, behind which night was falling.
评分Incredible
评分A difficult read after Fahrenheit 451 (and why did I choose to read it on a Sunday afternoon?)...Now I sit on my bed and look at the gorgeous pines and white birches outside of my window, I’m just glad that I don’t have to convince myself of or against any political belief.
评分第一本读起来很畅快的!临刑前的对话真唏嘘。人参与这种荒诞剧并演完一生,好值得愤而罢演,推桌而起

Born in Budapest in 1905, educated in Vienna, Arthur Koestler immersed himself in the major ideological and social conflicts of his time. A communist during the 1930s, and visitor for a time in the Soviet Union, he became disillusioned with the Party and left it in 1938. Later that year in Spain, he was captured by the Fascist forces under Franco, and sentenced to death. Released through the last-minute intervention of the British government, he went to France where, the following year, he again was arrested for his political views. Released in 1940, he went to England, where he made his home. His novels, reportage, autobiographical works, and political and cultural writings established him as an important commentator on the dilemmas of the 20th century. He died in 1983.
Originally published in 1941, Arthur Koestler's modern masterpiece, "Darkness At Noon, " is a powerful and haunting portrait of a Communist revolutionary caught in the vicious fray of the Moscow show trials of the late 1930s.During Stalin's purges, Nicholas Rubashov, an aging revolutionary, is imprisoned and psychologically tortured by the party he has devoted his life to. Under mounting pressure to confess to crimes he did not commit, Rubashov relives a career that embodies the ironies and betrayals of a revolutionary dictatorship that believes it is an instrument of liberation.A seminal work of twentieth-century literature, "Darkness At Noon" is a penetrating exploration of the moral danger inherent in a system that is willing to enforce its beliefs by any means necessary.
正如董乐山在后序中说的,目标与达成目标途径的矛盾是悲剧的根源。现在的我们,知知道当年苏联解体前有过一段以自由为名义的极权时 期,有人说论起杀人,斯大林要略胜希特勒一筹,但排到第一位却另有其人,那人的遗像现在在天安门前挂着。 我并不是一个反共分...
评分有人说:“多一个人读乔治奥威尔,世上就少一个独裁者。” 我认为:“多一个人读阿瑟库斯勒,世上就多一个奥威尔。” 书的正版我找了很久,遗憾的是董乐山先生在198几年译的中文版实在是找不到了,只能在亚马逊上淘到一本英文版的。虽然花了150多大洋,书也是非常普通的简装版...
评分Rubashov最后选择了"die in silence", 尽管他始终没有想明白是否这是值得的. 苏维埃起初的梦想在No.I的独裁下愈渐黑暗,Rubashov死前多羡慕摩西,尽管他没能去到the land of promise,至少也能在山头远远望一眼,明白所有的磨难是有意义的.Rubashov死在寂静的绝望里,甚至无法完成...
评分《中午的黑暗》 【英】阿瑟·库斯勒著 董乐山译 《中午的黑暗》大概是大一的时候看的,因为根据的是高三暑假列的那个书单找来的,那时沉迷于拨乱反正的书,对李洪林(曾任中宣部理论处处长,就是在《读书》创刊号发表《读书无禁区》的那个)等人写的关于打破个人...
