«El cero y el infinito» is Arthur Koestler's political novel, published by Opera Mundi in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
It tells the story of Rubashov, a veteran Bolshevik arrested and tried by the Soviet regime he helped create. Through interrogations and memories, Koestler explores loyalty, guilt and self-criticism, as well as the psychological pressure Stalinism exerts on the individual.
The novel was originally published in 1940 under the title «Sonnenfinsternis». This 2002 edition belongs to the Maestros Modernos Europeos collection, directed by Mario Vargas Llosa.
For readers interested in political fiction, twentieth-century classics and fiction about totalitarianism.
Arthur Koestler was an Austro-Hungarian-born author and journalist. Koestler was born in Budapest, and was educated in Austria, apart from his early school years. In 1931, Koestler joined the Communist Party of Germany but resigned in 1938 after becoming disillusioned with Stalinism.
