Waiting for the Barbarians, J. M. Coetzee’s third novel is an allegory of the war between oppressor and oppressed. The Magistrate is not simply a man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in remote times; his situation is that of all men living in unbearable complicity with regimes that elevate their own survival above justice and decency.
Ships promptly in a secure mailer with the book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
