| Note de contenu : |
For decades the Magistrate has run the affairs of tiny frontier settlement , ignoring the impending war between the barbarians ant the Empire, whose servant he is, But when the interrogation experts arrive, he is jolted into sympathy with the victims and inot a quixotic act of rebellioj wich lands him in prison, branded as an enemy of the state.
Waiting for the Barbians is an allegory of oppressor and oppressed. Not just a man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in remote times, The magistrate is an analogue of all men living in complicity with regimes that ignore justice and decency. |
