The modern classic from double Booker Prize winner J.M. Coetzee -
soon to be a major film starring Mark Rylance, Robert Pattinson and
Johnny Depp For decades the Magistrate has run the affairs of a
tiny frontier settlement, ignoring the impending war between the
barbarians and the Empire, whose servant he is. But when the
interrogation experts arrive, he is jolted into sympathy with the
victims and into a quixotic act of rebellion which lands him in
prison, branded as an enemy of the state. Waiting for the
Barbarians is an allegory of oppressor and oppressed. Not just a
man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in
remote times, the Magistrate is an analogue of all men living in
complicity with regimes that ignore justice and decency.
