    About this ebook

    The story very descriptively deals with the country’s changing scenario. There is a third person narrator, David Lurie, whose narration dominates the major part of the story.

    Free indirect discourse is one of the significant features of the writing style. Through this mode of writing, the author provides his readers an access to not only Lurie’s spoken words but also his unspoken thoughts.

      Chapter One: Introduction

      Disgrace is one of the finest novels written by J. M. Coetzee. It was first published in the year 1999.

      The book won the prestigious Booker Prize. Four years after the publication of Disgrace, Coetzee was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

      According to the author, the book was written after 1995. It was the time when the new constitution for South Africa was passed. The new constitution provided equal rights to men and women. The new constitution also gave equal rights to the citizen of South Africa regardless of sexual orientation.

      Under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress, the ruling party, was one of the most powerful and emphatic anti-apartheid movements.

      The movement was highly successful and Nelson Mandela became the first President of South Africa after a landslide victory in the general elections of the country.

      The new, post-apartheid, South Africa was a totally transformed country and it was on its way to progress and development. The country was by no means idyllic. For all that, the violence in the country significantly increased. Car-jackings became more common and frequent. Several of the commercial farmers moved from their native lands or totally gave up farming because several incidents of violence against farmers began to be reported almost every day.

      The landscape changed so rapidly in the country that several of the rich South Africans, especially in Johannesburg, moved into gated communities.

      The story very descriptively deals with the country’s
