Koestler
Michael Scammell

Published in 1940, Darkness at Noon was a damning indictment of Stalin's regime and is now considered one of the 20th century's great books. Its author was a committed Zionist who moved to Palestine; he later escaped a death sentence in Franco's Spain. He joined the Communist Party but later became one of its fiercest critics. This is an unsentimental account of his life: his activism, his manic depression and his suicide pact with his wife.

Things I've Been Silent About
Azar Nafisi

The author of Reading Lolita in Tehran recalls growing up in Iran at a time of political revolution. Her intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, created mesmerising fictions about herself, her family and her past, while her father embarked on repeated affairs. Her complicity in his deception was to have a long-lasting effect on her own ability to confront injustice, both personal and political.
