Burger's Daughter
ISBN: 9780140055931 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 361 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. This is the moving story of the unforgettable Rosa Burger, a young woman from South Africa cast in the mold of a revolutionary tradition. Rosa tries to uphold her heritage handed on by martyred parents while still carving out a sense of self.

Nadine Gordimer, winner of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature, was born and lives in South Africa.
