His right to bury the hope was as good as any Leftist's: Arthur Koestler, of Budapest, Vienna, Berlin, Haifa, Cairo, Moscow, Paris, Zurich, Seville, and now of London, is a veteran of many of Europe's military and ideological battlefields, concentration camps, hospitals, prisons, a journalist of repute, the author of one of the most brilliant and powerful novels of the present day (Darkness at Noon; TIME...
