Paperback. Zustand: Good. NOW A FILM STARRING MARK RYLANCE, JOHNNY DEPP, AND ROBERT PATTINSON A modern classic by Nobel Laureate J. M. Coetzee 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.

Askew, C. C. (illustrator).…
