"Set in a turbulent South Africa, a young gardener decides to take his mother away from the violence towards a new life in the abandoned countryside, but finds that war follows wherever he goes."
"Een ietwat simpele tuinman ontvlucht met zijn zieke moeder aan het einde van de jaren '80 Kaapstad waar de toestand door een burgeropstand onhoudbaar is geworden, en hij zwerft vervolgens rond in compleet isolement, levend onder minimale omstandigheden."

"Portrait of South Africa, a land and a people beset by violence and siege. Centres on a handicapped young man and his dying mother, who set out on a journey without the required transit passes so that she can return to her birthplace in the veld."@en
"From the author of Waiting for the Barbarians, another startling and disturbing portrait of today's South Africa, a land and a people beset by violence and siege. Coetzee here tells the story of a handicapped young man who has worked as a municipal gardener in Cape Town. His mother is dying, and she wishes to return to her birthplace out in the veldt. Without the required transit passes, mother and son set out on a journey that will end in death for her and in a new but temporary life on an abandoned farm for him. His respite in isolation and peace does not last long, however; grotesque reality soon returns to trouble this quiet new world. Against the solitude of this private drama, Coetzee paints an eloquent and pained picture of his homeland and of the bureaucrats, doctors, army deserters, and camp guards who reveal the stress and qualms of their existence and who uneasily sense that there is no conclusion to their troubles and no future for their lives."
"Par un écrivain sud-africain qui a reçu le Booker Prize (G.-B.) pour ##Michael K##. L'histoire d'un homme fruste qui lutte pour préserver sa dignité humaine dans une Afrique du Sud en pleine guerre civile, et pour qui un carré de potirons constitue le paradis sur terre."
"Dans une Afrique du Sud déstabilisée par la guerre civile, un jardinier décide de fuir la ville dévastée et de ramener sa mère sur les lieux de son enfance heureuse."

"In South Africa, whose civil administration is collapsing under the pressure of years of civil strife, an obscure young gardener named Michael K decides to take his mother on a long march away from the guns towards a new life in the abandoned countryside. Everywhere he goes however, the war follows him. Tracked down and locked up as a collaborator with the rural guerrillas, he embarks on a fast that angers, baffles, and finally awes his captors. The story of Michael K is the story of a man caught up in a war beyond his understanding, but determined to live his life, however minimally, on his own terms."
"In a South Africa turned by war, Michael K. sets out to take his ailing mother back to her rural home. On the way there she dies, leaving him alone in an anarchic world of brutal roving armies. Imprisoned, Michael is unable to bear confinement and escapes, determined to live with dignity. This life affirming novel goes to the center of human experience - the need for an interior, spiritual life; for some connections to the world in which we live; and for purity of vision."
