Life
Nadine Gordimer was born in Springs, South Africa. Her parents were Jewish immigrants; her father was from Latvia and her mother was from England. Nadine began writing at the age of nine, and was just 15 years old when her first work was published. The novel entitled The Conservationist (1974) gave her international breakthrough. Gordimer was involved in the anti-apartheid movement early on and several of her books were banned by the apartheid regime. She has lived and worked in Johannesburg, South Africa, since 1948.

Work
Nadine Gordimer's works include novels, short stories, and essays. During the 1960s and 1970s she wrote a number of novels set against the backdrop of the emerging resistance movement against apartheid, while the liberated South Africa provides the backdrop for her later works, written in the 1990s. The stories of individuals are always at the center of her narratives, in relation to external limitations and frameworks. As a whole, Gordimer's literary works create rich imagery of South Africa's historical development.

生平
纳丁-戈迪默出生在南非的斯普林斯。她的父母是犹太移民；她的父亲来自拉脱维亚，母亲来自英国。纳丁九岁开始写作，她的第一部作品发表时，年仅15岁。题为《保护者》（1974）的小说使她在国际上取得了突破。戈迪默很早就参与了反种族隔离运动，她的几本书都被种族隔离政权禁止了。自1948年以来，她一直在南非的约翰内斯堡生活和工作。

作品
纳丁-戈迪默的作品包括小说、短篇小说和散文。在20世纪60年代和70年代，她写了一些以反对种族隔离的新兴抵抗运动为背景的小说，而解放后的南非则为她后来在90年代写的作品提供了背景。个人的故事总是处于她叙事的中心，与外部限制和框架有关。作为一个整体，戈迪默的文学作品为南非的历史发展创造了丰富的想象。
