«El conservador» is the novel by South African writer Nadine Gordimer, published by MDS Books/Mediasat in hardcover (288 pages, in Spanish).
Mehring, a wealthy white businessman in apartheid South Africa, tries to preserve his position and properties; his wife, son and lover abandon him, his workers become indifferent, and the land rebels with droughts and floods. The work addresses alienation, racial inequality and the moral decay of that society.
The novel, originally published as The Conservationist in 1974, won the Booker Prize. This edition is number 30 of the Biblioteca El Mundo, with a prologue by Rosa Regàs.
For readers of literary fiction interested in apartheid South Africa and the work of a Nobel Prize-winning author.
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".
