Arthur Koestler
Arthur Koestler, is an English Hungarian-born author and journalist. Koestler was born in Budapest and, in addition to his early years in school, he was educated in Austria. In 1931 Koestler joined the German Communist Party, but resigned in 1938 because Stalinism disillusioned him. In 1940, he published his novel The Darkness at Noon, an anti-totalitarian work that earned him international fame. For the next 43 years, from his residence in England, Koestler endorsed many political causes and wrote novels, memoirs, biographies and essays. In 1949, Koestler began working secretly with the British Cold War propaganda division called the Information Research Bureau, which would reprint and distribute many of his works, and fund his activity. In 1968 he received the Sonning Prize "for [his] outstanding contribution to European culture". In 1972, he was appointed Commander of the British Empire.
