Invitation To A Beheading




The novel tells the story of a man named Cincinnatus C., a citizen of some unnamed dream country, who is imprisoned and sentenced to death for " Gnostic turpitude".

He is surrounded by his jailer (Rodion), the director of the jail (Rodrig), and his lawyer (Roman), all of whom have names reminiscent of Dostoyevsky 's Crime And Punishment .
