正午的黑暗

內容簡介

內容簡介 這部小說名氣很大，在藍燈書屋《現代文庫》評選的「二十世紀百部最佳英文小說」中，名列第八。《正午的黑暗》是一部以蘇共為背景的時代力作，因其「反共」，1941年一出版便震撼世界，也因此在社會主義國家遭禁，在世界其他國家卻一版再版，譯成多種文字。本書主角是1930年代共產國際背景下，於歐洲各資本主義國家從事祕密革命活動的老革命家。革命的崇高目標與採取手段的矛盾，讓這位老布爾什維克的革命良心深感不安，從而被捕入獄，最後在疲勞轟炸式的審訊後精神崩潰而承認罪行，結清與歷史的帳。全書故事情節的鋪陳、人物的自省和反思，以及獄中三次審訊所進行的論辯，交織描寫緊密而意義深刻，擺脫枯燥的政治理念探討，成為傳世不墜之作。本中文書介出自《正午的黑暗》臉譜出版社出版"
