No less than a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature & I can see why because this is a wonderful, gripping & at times harrowing book about one man's struggle with himself & an anonymous central authority & the brutal but asinine bureaucrats that mete out its imperial justice. It also provides a historical perpsective on why empires inevitably fail as some citizens 'go native'. Not bad for a book of 176 pages!5/5.
