Der Titelheld, der seine Zeit nicht versteht und nichts mit ihr zu tun haben will, macht sich davon. In der Stadt tobt der Aufstand, es kommt zu Plünderungen und Schießereien, Macht und Gegenmacht spielen ihr blutiges Spiel. Michael K., einer der Ärmsten unter den Armen, flieht aufs Land. In einer verlassenen Farm lebt er ein Leben jenseits der Zivilisation. Er lebt von Tieren, die er mit der Hand erhaschen, von Pflanzen, die er unter großen Mühen ziehen kann, ein Robinson am Rande der modernen Welt. Coetzees Ballade über diesen unmöglichen Sonderling, der mit seiner Behauptung einer eigenen Zeit die Zeit herausfordert, hat wegen ihrer Aufrichtigkeit Leser in der ganzen Welt gefunden. Für diesen Roman erhielt J. M. Coetzee 1983 den Booker Award, den bedeutendsten englischen Literaturpreis.
