Couverture souple. Condición: Très bon. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Jaquette en bon état. Booker Prize, Commonwealth Prize et National Book Critics Circle Award, ce roman a été qualifié de chef-d'oeuvre par la critique internationale. Traduction de l'anglais (Afrique du Sud) par Catherine Lauga du Plessis. Quatrième de couverture : "Agé de 52 ans et deux fois divorcé, David Lurie enseigne la poésie romantique et la communication à l'université du Cap. Encore jeune de corps et de coeur, ce Don Juan du campus se laisse aller à un dernier élan de désir, d'amour peut-être. Mais la petite étudiante se moque bien de Wordsworth et de Byron et l'aventure tourne mal. Convaincu de harcèlement sexuel, David Lurie démissionne. Réfugié auprès de sa fille Lucy, dans une ferme isolée, il tente de retrouver un sens au seul lien qui compte encore à ses yeux. Mais les temps ont changé. La fracture sociale est arrivée jusqu'au coeur de ce pays et la violence n'épargne pas les campagnes. L'idylle pastorale tourne au cauchemar. Aussi sombre que magnifique, l'élégie cynique de J.-M. Coetzee jette une lumière glacée et crépusculaire sur la nation arc-en-ciel et consigne l'avènement d'un nouvel âge de fer.". Livre.

In the early eighteenth century, Susan Barton finds herself adrift from a mutinous ship and cast ashore on a remote desert island. There she finds shelter with its only other inhabitants: a man named Cruso and his tongueless slave, Friday. In time, she builds a life for herself as Cruso's companion and, eventually, his lover. At last they are rescued by a passing ship, but only she and Friday survive the journey back to London. Determined to have her story told, she pursues the eminent man of letters Daniel Foe in the hope that he will relate truthfully her memories to the world. But with Cruso dead, Friday incapable of speech and Foe himself intent on reshaping her narrative, Barton struggles to maintain her grip on the past, only to fall victim to the seduction of storytelling itself.

A classics professor, Mrs. Curren has been opposed to the lies and brutality of apartheid all her life, but has lived insulated from its true horrors. Now she is suddenly forced to come to terms with the iron-hearted rage that the system has wrought. In an extended letter addressed to her daughter, who has long since fled to America, Mrs. Curren recounts the strange events of her dying days. She witnesses the burning of a nearby black township and discovers the bullet-riddled body of her servant's son. A teenage black activist hiding in her house is killed by security forces. And through it all, her only companion, the only person to whom she can confess her mounting anger and despair, is a homeless man, an alcoholic, who one day appears on her doorstep. Brilliantly crafted and resonant with metaphor, Age of Iron is "a superbly realized novel whose truths cut to the bone." ( The New York Times Book Review ).

Youth's narrator, a student in 1950s South Africa, has long been plotting an escape from his native country. Studying mathematics, reading poetry, saving money, he tries to ensure that when he arrives in the real world he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity, and transform it into art. Arriving at last in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance. Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief. Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing and begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting. Set against the background of the 1960s, Youth is a remarkable portrait of a consciousness turning in on itself. J. M. Coetzee explores a young man's struggle to find his way in the world with tenderness and a fierce clarity.

LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2016 Selected as a Book of the Year 2016 in the Observer and Daily Telegraph When you travel across the ocean on a boat, all your memories are washed away and you start a completely new life. That is how it is. There is no before. There is no history. The boat docks at the harbour and we climb down the gangplank and we are plunged into the here and now. Time begins. Davd is the small boy who is always asking questions. Simn and Ins take care of him in their new town Estrella. He is learning the language; he has begun to make friends. He has the big dog Bolvar to watch over him. But he'll be seven soon and he should be at school. And so, Davd is enrolled in the Academy of Dance. It's here, in his new golden dancing slippers, that he learns how to call down the numbers from the sky. But it's here too that he will make troubling discoveries about what grown-ups are capable of. In this mesmerising allegorical tale, Coetzee deftly grapples with the big questions of growing up, of what it means to be a parent, the constant battle between intellect and emotion, and how we choose to live our lives.
