Darkness at Noon is a novel by Hungarian-born British novelist Arthur Koestler, first published in 1940. It is the story of Nikolai Salmanovich Rubashov, an Old Bolshevik who is imprisoned and tried for treason against the Communist Party. Through Rubashov's experience, Koestler explores the horrors of Stalinism and the nature of totalitarianism. The novel is a scathing critique of the Soviet system and a defense of individual freedom.
