The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer, First Edition (46 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects.

As the upheaval in Mehring's world increasingly resembles that in the country as a whole, it becomes clear that only a seismic shift in ideas and concrete action can avert annihilation.
