The Conservationist

Zusatztext 'Gordimer has undoubtedly become one of the World's Great Writers ... her rootedness in a political time! place and faith has never dimmed her complex gifts as an artist' Informationen zum Autor Nadine Gordimer Klappentext Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm. As the upheaval in Mehring's world increasingly resembles that in the country as a whole, it becomes clear that only a seismic shift in ideas and concrete action can avert annihilation.Nadine Gordimer's Booker Prize-winning story of the forces and relationships seething in the South Africa of the day Zusammenfassung Nadine Gordimer's Booker Prize-winning story of the forces and relationships seething in the South Africa of the day
