About This Item
Synopsis
Nadine Gordimer is a South African writer, political activist and Nobel laureate. Her book, The Conservationist , was awarded the Man Booker prize in 1974. It is an in-depth depiction of life in a South Africa town that is suffering through apartheid in the 1960’s and 70’s. The main character, Mehring, is a wealthy businessman and landowner. His success in industry provided the means to buy a 400-acre farm, which serves primarily as a tax write-off. In his quest for material success, Mehring has lost his wife and his mistress, while becoming estranged from his teenage son. The author has an uncanny ability to allow the reader to feel the isolation and desertion that abound in this superbly written book.
