Mit Sonnenfinsternis, einem Klassiker der politischen Literatur, zuerst erschienen 1940, erzählt Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983) beispielhaft die Mechanismen totalitärer und diktatorischer Systeme.

Sonnenfinsternis führt vor, dass niemand totalitärer Macht entkommen kann. Arthur Koestler hatten die stalinistischen Schauprozesse für diese Mechanismen die Augen geöffnet.
