The Gladiators (1939) is a novel by Arthur Koestler. Translated from the Hungarian by Edith Simon.
Abstract
Originally written in Hungarian in 1938, the novel was first published in English translation. Like Howard Fast after him, Koestler made an explicit connection between the revolt of Spartacus and Judaism. One of Spartacus' companions was a member of the Jewish sect of the Essenes and his views shaped the revolt.
