Resumo

In J.M. Coetzee’s latest fictional work, the Jesus trilogy, two refugees―a man in his early forties and a five-year-old boy―arrive in an unidentified country after travelling across an ocean. Their first two stops are Belstar, a city by the sea, and a refugee camp “in the desert” where they are given new names, Simón for the man and David for the boy. They have, like all other refugees, no memories of their past, not even of their original names or their native language, except maybe for David who can sing Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s 1782 ballad “Erlköning” in German, though he believes he is singing it in English (a misidentification that Simón also makes). The language of their host country is Spanish, which they have been learning in the refugee camp, and hence, they experience typical problems associated with language acquisition.
