We must set the beast lurking in us only against ourselves. The Nameless Magistrate had been a loyal servant of the Nameless Empire for many years, managing the affairs of a tiny colonial town somewhere in the Middle East. The inhabitants of the city live in constant fear: they are so afraid of the invasion of the barbarians that at some point they decide to take matters into their own hands. The magistrate, shocked by the cruelty of those around him, tries to show humanity, but this only leads to the fact that the state machine turns against him.
The famous Coetzee novel is a parable about the confrontation between man and the regime, oppression and cruelty. A dense and complex text raises eternal questions and deprives of peace: before you is a brilliant philosophical novel that can change the reader.
