The Conservationist
(Nadine Gordimer)
This is the story of Mehring, a wealthy high class businessman and landowner from Transvaal who narrated his life throughout internal monologues, reflections and fragment of conversations with his distant son, lovers, adquaints anf the workers of his farm, giving us an idea of how empty and lonely without love and ilusion his life is but at the same time full of wealth and privilegues.
Ms. Gordimer - using Mehring character - give us a portrait of a South Africa divided by the Apartheid Laws where social status is linked with the color of the skin and at the same time gave us an idea of the idiosyncracy of all the characters mentioned in this story - boers, indians and blacks - who interact and live together but separated by the racial laws of South Africa.
