Invitation to a Beheading is a novel by the Russian American author Vladimir Nabokov. It was originally published in Russian in 1935-1936 as a serial in Contemporary Notes, the most respected literary journal of the Russian emigration

I’d like to shed some light on one of these émigré masterpieces, the strange and foreboding Invitation to a Beheading. It is a book that takes place almost completely within the confines of a dingy jail cell, and yet it wrestles with the same themes as vividly and profoundly as Nabokov's best known American novels.

Waiting for the Barbarians is a novel by the South African author J.M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003. The novel was published in 1980 and is regarded as one of Coetzee's finest pieces of writing

-What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum? The barbarians are due here today. -Why isn't anything going on in the senate? Why are the senators sitting there without legislating?

Mr. Coetzee tells the story of an imaginary Empire, set in an unspecified place and time, yet recognizable as a ''universalized'' version of South Africa. The result is a realistic fable, at once stark, exciting and economical.
