Darkness at Noon, by Arthur Koestler, is another allegorical book about the Russian Revolution, more specifically the Moscow trials that followed. The book had a strong impact on me.
I think Darkness at Noon by Koestler is the best book about how system breaks man and forces into submission. The ending of 1984 is rather pale in comparison. There are also a few books by Russian authors on that topic, but…

附议《正午的黑暗》（Darkness at Noon）。读起来非常震撼。阿瑟·库斯勒 1940 年写的。奥威尔的《1984》是 1948 年出版的，对吧？
Second 'Darkness at Noon'. A very powerful read. By Arthur Koestler 1940. Orwell's 1984 was published in 1948, wasn't it?
阿瑟·库斯勒的《正午的黑暗》是另一部关于俄国革命的寓言式小说，更具体地说是关于随后的莫斯科大审判。这本书对我触动很大。

既然 HN 似乎对苏联历史感兴趣，我推荐库斯勒的《正午的黑暗》和梅德韦杰夫的《赫鲁晓夫执政年代》。
Since HN seems to have an interest in Soviet history, I would recommend Darkness at Noon by Koestler and Khrushchev: The Years in Power by Medvedev.
我认为库斯勒的《正午的黑暗》是描写体制如何摧毁一个人并迫使其屈服的最好的一本书。相比之下，《1984》的结局就显得有点苍白了。关于这个主题，也有一些俄罗斯作家的书，不过……
