«El conservador» is the novel by South African writer Nadine Gordimer, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (278 pages, in Spanish).
Mehring, a middle-aged South African industrialist, is determined to preserve his way of life in the midst of apartheid. Neither his leftist lover nor his son can make him doubt his right to keep his possessions; the black workers on his farm do not question it either. A dead man by the river introduces unease into his memories and fantasies.
Originally published in 1974 as The Conservationist, it won the Booker Prize. It is number 6 in the Andanzas collection; its author received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991.
