About this ebook:
Johnas Maxwellas Coetzee (Džonas Maksvelas Kutsė, gim. 1940) – PAR rašytojas, išleidęs apie dvidešimt knygų ir apdovanotas daugiau kaip dešimčia garsių premijų, tarp jų du kartus Bookerio premija: 1983 m. už romaną Maiklo K gyvenimas ir laikai (liet. 2005) ir 1999 m. už romaną Nešlovė (liet. 2002). Lietuvių kalba dar išleistas J. M. Coetzee romanas Lėtas žmogus (2012). Barbarų belaukiant – vienas geriausių rašytojo romanų.Romano Barbarų belaukiant pasakotojas, lojalus neįvardytos Imperijos pareigūnas, tarnaujantis mažame pasienio mieste, gyvena ramų gyvenimą, kolekcionuoja akmenis, kasinėja griuvėsius dykumoje ir šifruoja paslaptingus rašmenis ant tuopos skalų. Bet kartą mieste pasirodo pulkininkas Džolas ir stoja į žūtbūtinę kovą su barbarais, kurie laikomi pavojingais Imperijai.Suvokęs, kaip žiauriai ir neteisingai elgiamasi su belaisviais, miestelio teisėjas pajunta užuojautą aukoms ir įvykdęs protesto aktą pats tampa Imperijos priešu. Būdamas paprastas žmogus, graužiamas sąžinės tolimais laikais nežinomoje šalyje, jis tarytum įkūnija visus žmones, kurie gyvena totalitarinėse valstybėse, nepripažįstančiose teisingumo ir padorumo.„Aš visiškai neketinau veltis į šitą reikalą. Esu miestelio teisėjas, Imperijai tarnaujantis atsakingas pareigūnas, nekantriai stumiantis šitame tingiame pasienyje dienas, kol sulauksiu pensijos. Renku Bažnyčios dešimtines ir mokesčius, administruoju bendruomenės žemes, prižiūriu, kad įgulai nieko netrūktų, vadovauju jaunesniesiems karininkams – kitokių čia nėra, – nenuleidžiu akių nuo prekybos ir dusyk per savaitę pirmininkauju teismo posėdžiams. O visa kita – grožiuosi saulėtekiais ir saulėlydžiais, valgau, miegu ir jaučiuosi patenkintas. Kai numirsiu, tikiuosi pelnyti tris smulkaus šrifto eilutes Imperijos laikraštyje. Nieko daugiau ir nenorėjau – tik ramaus gyvenimo ramiais laikais.Bet pernai iki mūsų iš sostinės jau atsklisdavo pasakojimai apie barbarų keliamus neramumus...“J. M. Coetzee, „Barbarų belaukiant“„Tikras literatūros įvykis.“Irving Howe, „The New York Times Book Review“ „Nedaug težinau rašytojų, kurie gali taip nusiaubti žmogaus širdį... Autoriui pažįstamas neapčiuopiamas Kafkos siaubas.“Bernard Levin, „The Sunday Times“

Not entirely to my refined tastes. It possessed moments of brilliance, but the narrative felt slightly disjointed ultimately. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.
