Waiting for the Barbarians: a Novel (Penguin Ink) (The Penguin Ink Series) Reprint edition
J. M. Coetzee
A modern classic, this early novel by Nobel Laureate J. M. Coetzee centers on the crisis of conscience and morality of the Magistrate-a loyal servant of the Empire working in a tiny frontier town, doing his best to ignore an inevitable war with the "barbarians."
