Focused on the era of the Moscow trials, Darkness at Noon describes an aging bolshevik's total loss of perspective when faced by the new regime's inquisitors. At given intervals, Rubashov leaves the rumor-ridden limbo of his prison cell for interrogation - or else is appeased with gifts - first by the reproachful ironist, Ivanov, then by his remote and sadistic colleague, Gletkin. The machine of guilt is brought to bear; and, in a nightmarish moment of failing logic, Rubashov makes his preposterous and fatal confession.
