Nadine Gordimer (Springs, South Africa, 1923 – Johannesburg, 2014) published her first story in a Johannesburg magazine just after the Second World War. In 1949, the year apartheid was established in South Africa, his first book of stories Face to Face was published. Her long career, in which we find fourteen novels and several books of short stories, was rewarded in 1991 with the Nobel Prize. Photo: Bengt Oberger.
