In The Master of Petersburg, J.M. Coetzee tells the story of a man who, after a lifetime of service to the tsar, is forced to reckon with the consequences of his actions. Ivan Sergiusovich is a man of immense talent and power, but he is also a slave to the system he has helped to create. As the Russian Revolution rapidly approaches, Ivan must choose between preserving his position and risking everything he's built, or risking everything for what may be his last chance at true freedom.

Coetzee's novel is a masterful exploration of the human condition, and its themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and hope are timeless.; 8vo; 250 pages.
