"Arthur Koestler 1972-ben megjelent utolsó regénye - a tudósok gyarlóságáról és felelősségéről, az emberiség előtt álló kihívásokról és a tudomány tehetetlenségéről - először jelenik meg magyarul.
A regény egy kis hegyi faluban megrendezett konferencia története. A résztvevők, különböző tudományágakat képviselő tudósok, megpróbálják megérteni az emberi önpusztítás vágyát - de eközben egyre gyanakvóbbak és agresszívabbak lesznek egymással.
"Szolovjev elnyomta a cigarettáját, szétkotorva vele az egész hamutartót, aztán felemelkedett, de meggondolta magát, visszaült, és közönyös hangon megkérdezte:
- Gondolja, hogy érdemes?
Az igazgató meglepetten nézett rá, aztán a saját cigarettáját kezdte tanulmányozni, tüzetesen.
- Ezt önnek jobban kell tudnia - mondta végül. - Ha bárki más javasolná, hogy hívjunk össze tizenkét okos fickót, még ha a szakterületük legjobbjait is, hogy dolgozzanak ki egy tervet a világ megmentésére, hát azt mondanám neki, hogy elment az esze, és húzza el innen a csíkot, de hamar.
Szolovjev a ceruzáját piszkálta Hoffman asztalán.
- Talán szívességet tenne vele, ha nekem is ezt mondaná.
- Talán igen, de maga nem bolond. Meg különben is, mi veszhet? A legrosszabb esetben is csak a mi pénzünket és a saját idejét vesztegeti.
- És a legjobb esetben?
- Ne akarja, hogy megerőltessem a képzeletemet, nekem nincs olyan. Magának van.
Így aztán létrejött a szimpózium."

The Uphill Climb
Ford lifted his arms above his head to yawn as does a man who has slept too heavily, found his biceps stiffened and sore, and massaged them gingerly with his finger-tips. His eyes took on the vacancy of memory straining at the leash of forgetfulness. He sighed largely, swung his head slowly from left to right in mute admission of failure to grasp what lay just behind his slumber, and thereby discovered other muscles that protested against sudden movement. He felt his neck with a careful, rubbing gesture. One hand strayed to his left cheekbone, hovered there tentatively, wandered to the bridge of his nose, and from there dropped inertly to the bed. "Lordy me! I must have been drunk last night," he said aloud, mechanically taking he straight line of logic from effect to cause, as much experience had taught him to do.
