Brilliant . . . The story of an imaginary Empire, set in an
unspecified place and time . . . A realistic fable, at once
exciting and economical . . . A distinguished piece of fiction
*New York Times*
A writer of formidable strength. His novel is important not only
for its theme but also for the beauty and clarity of his style
*Daily Telegraph*
I have known few authors who can evoke such a wilderness in the
heart of man . . . Coetzee knows the elusive terror of Kafka
*Sunday Times*
J.M. Coetzee’s vision goes to the nerve centre of being. What he
finds there is more than most people will ever know about
themselves, and he conveys it with a brilliant writer’s mastery of
tension and elegance
A remarkable and original book
