The Conservationist
Nadine GordimerNadine Gordimer paints a complex portrait of dangerously deluded and wilfully ignorant privilege, set in South Africa during the time of apartheid.
“Gordimer is a great writer… It is Turgenev that she most brings to mind." - New York Review of Books
Mehring is rich, with 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, destroys his farm. The upheaval in his world increasingly resembles that in the country as a whole, and it becomes clear that only a seismic shift in ideas and concrete action can avert annihilation
“Gordimer has written what must be considered her masterpiece. The beauty and largeness of this land she loves is drawn with a breadth and scope that is breathtaking.” — St. Louis Post-Dispatch
