Reseña del editor:
This was the third novel of Arthur Koestler's trilogy on ends and means - the other two are THE GLADIATORS and DARKNESS AT NOON - and the first he wrote in English. The central theme is the conflict between morality and expediency, and in this novel Koestler worked it out in terms of individual psychology. Peter Slavek starts out as a brave young revolutionary, but suffers a breakdown. On the analyst's couch he is made to discover, in Koestler's own words, 'that his crusading zeal was derived from unconscious guilt'.
Contraportada:
Spring 1941: Peter Slavek has escaped from his country, where the Movement has surrendered to an oppressive dictatorship. A student-hero and survivor of interrogation and torture, Peter arrives at a tense clearing-house for refugees; among them are Odette, a beautiful child-widow; Bernard, an epicene Fascist proselytizer; and the massive but nubile psychologist, Dr Sonia Bolgar, who gives Peter the run of her flat...in return for the run of his mind.
'Arthur Koestler has developed a descriptive power which is at once irresistible and unbearable...It is brilliantly done. Not the least impressive thing is the incidental picture, casually built up by a touch of colour here and there, of the city itself, with its polyglot population of every nation' Daily Telegraph
'His attitude is profoundly and honourably intellectual in that he sees life as a series of mental and moral problems to be solved, or at least to be clearly stated...I have criticised Arrival and Departure not as a current novel by which criterion the faintest doubt of its supremacy would be out of place, but as the enduring work of art which I believe it may prove to be. Its qualities are not only of a high but of an extremely rare order' New Statesman
