"The narrator of this major new novel by the internationally acclaimed author of Waiting for the Barbarians and The Life and Times of Michael K is an elderly white woman dying of cancer in a land afflicted with its own mortal illness. But as Mrs. Curren records her last days in a letter to her daughter in America--her encounters with bloodshed in a black township and in the streets of her own suburbs--she is also born into a shattering awareness of what it means to be South African, a witness to an age in which even children seem to be made of iron." [publisher copy] "A fierce pageant of modern South Africa. Mr. Coetzee portrays with equal vigor the insidiousness of the apartheid system and the moral astonishment of a woman who in her final days is forced to witness as well as participate in it. . . a remarkable work by a brilliant writer."--Wall Street Journal. "Unrelenting yet gorgeously written. . . [Coetzee] observes the injustices, the atrocities of the spirit, prevalent in his homeland with an unblinking eye."--Newsday. Fine, near-pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, pages lightly toned o/w unmarked, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB3778
