Discussion: Arthur Koestler good book >>By JAY is anyone there? >>By jay i think his history of serial rape is disturbing..hahahahahahahaha. >>By tambourine Darkness at noon is the book I have reread the most. The most has a simple way of tellign a story. A simple, straightforward, but poetic and engaging way of narrating . Rubashov is not just another communist party member. he is the very product of the system he eventually fights against, the system that punishes him, the very system he was born to serve. The Communist machine, if Koetsler is to be understood at all, is like a snake biting its own tail, all the time, inventing, and re-inventing itself all the time, depending on the whim of the Supreme leader. The truth about stalin is written so eloquently by Koestler: the horror which No.1 emenated from above all consisted in the possibility that he was in the right, and that all those whom he killed had to admit, even with the bullet in the back of their heads, thast he conceivably might be in the right. There was no certainty; only the appeal to that mocking oracle they called history, who gave Her sentence only when the jaws of the appealer had long since fallen to dust." >>By dionysus
