中午的黑暗

Novel by 阿瑟·庫斯勒

Blurb

This splendid novel is set in the tumultuous Soviet Union of the 1930s during the treason trials. Rubashov, the protagonist and a hero of the revolution, is arrested and jailed for things he has not done, though there is much about the current Soviet state that veered from his ideals as a revolutionary. His investigators, Ivanov and Gletkin, seek a public confession and interrogate him using a number of methods. Through the ordeal, Rubashov reaches an epiphany or two while his interrogators suffer the cruel fate of the Soviet machine. Darkness at Noon succeeds as political/historical novel, but even more so as a refreshing tale of the human spirit.

Este livro conta uma narrativa que representa o momento vivido na Rússia, durante a era Stalinista, em particular, passa durante o momento do Grande Expurgo, entre 1934 e 1939. A história é narrada a partir de personagens fictícios, mas que representam o momento histórico com êxito. Sintetizando as informações do texto, é possível levantar questionamentos sobre a forma de governo coletivista, e as consequências que este produz para os indivíduos, bem como as contraposições ao critério ético utilizado.
