Summary Of Arthur Koestler's Darkness At Noon
Outside Reading Part 1
Setting 1
My book, Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler is primarily in a prison. The book takes brief intermissions of setting into Berlin right after Hitler has taken it over around 1933, during this time period Rubashov (who is the main character) is a high ranking member of an extremist party of some sort. During the flash backs scenes of havoc are depicted as you learn of the inner turmoil of the dying extremist party. But during the majority of the book when he’s not having flash backs you read of some sort of communication thru tapping the prisoners use, torture and spiteful shows of power like starving Rubashov. The torture the guards in the prison use range from “steam baths” to savage beatings, the older guards
