Mit Sonnenfinsternis, einem Klassiker der politischen Literatur, zuerst erschienen 1940, erzählt Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983) beispielhaft die Mechanismen totalitärer und diktatorischer Systeme. Er reißt Ihnen die Maske herunter: unmenschliche Ideologie hinter vordergründig menschenfreundlicher Ideologie. Lüge und Mord zur Machterhaltung. Sonnenfinsternis führt vor, dass niemand totalitärer Macht entkommen kann. Arthur Koestler hatten die stalinistischen Schauprozesse für diese Mechanismen die Augen geöffnet.
