«El conservador» is the novel by Nadine Gordimer, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
Mehring, a South African industrialist in his fifties, wants to preserve his way of life on his Transvaal farm at all costs. Neither his left-wing lover nor his nonconformist son can make him question his privileges in apartheid South Africa. The discovery of a corpse by the river disturbs his routine and confronts him with a reality he prefers to ignore.
Part of the Tusquets Maxi collection (no. 15), it was originally published as The Conservationist and won the Booker Prize in 1974. Nadine Gordimer received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991.
Suitable for readers of literary fiction and contemporary fiction, especially those seeking stories set in apartheid South Africa and award-winning works.
Nadine Gordimer was a South African writer and political activist. She received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991, recognised as a writer "who through her magnificent epic writing has ... been of very great benefit to humanity".
