The Age of Longing is a political fiction and psychological novel written by Hungarian-British author Arthur Koestler and published in 1951. The book captures the existential dread, intellectual disillusionment, and ideological paralysis gripping Europe at the dawn of the Cold

The novel is set in Paris during a fictionalized mid-1950s. The Western world lives under the constant, suffocating threat of an impending invasion by the "Commonwealth of Freedom Loving People"—a thinly veiled stand-in for the Soviet Union.
