Few words about The Gladiators

Spartacus was an inspiration to Communists in Europe, plus one group even named themselves the Spartacists in memory of him. The past research is sometimes shaky, and the volume contains a number of anachronisms, including fire escapes on Roman houses. The book forms a trilogy by means of Darkness at Noon, and Arrival and Departure on idealism going wrong, a common theme in Koestler's work and existence. Its arrival was timely, being on paper on the brink of World War II.

It was at first on paper in Hungarian. You can assist by increasing it.
