Description
'The Age of Longing' is a 1951 novel by Arthur Koestler set in France during the early years of the Cold War. The story follows Joseph de Maistre, a French intellectual and former Resistance member, and Anna Halperin, an American woman working in Paris, as their lives become entangled amid growing tensions between the Western powers and the Soviet Union. Through their relationship, Koestler explores political ideology, cultural conflict and the difficulties of personal commitment in an increasingly divided world. The novel combines political and psychological themes with a portrait of post-war Europe caught between competing visions of the future.
