库斯勒(A.Koestler)的名著《中午的黑暗》,曾由董乐山先生介绍,确是好书。我们目睹大时代中人性的变态,往往百思不得其解。而最费解的,无过于何以聪明才智之士,非完全为形势所迫而认鹿为马;当时多少确曾由衷否定过自己的常识。虽然《中午的黑暗》写的是不同时地的故事,由于人性相近,仍有参考价值。库斯勒另有一本值得一读的著作,写的却是为现代科学奠基的几位先知。 A. Koestler’s famous book The Dark of Noon, introduced by Mr. Dong Leshan, is indeed a good book. When we witness the perversion of humanity in the great times, we often find it hard to understand. The most puzzling, no matter how wise and intelligent people, not entirely for the situation forced to confirm deer for the horse; how many did indeed deny their common sense. Although the “noon’s darkness” is a story from time to time, because of similar human nature, there is still reference value. Another book worth reading is written by Kozler, written by several prophets who laid the foundation for modern science.
