  • "Mehring, industrial cincuentón pero aún atractivo, tiene muy claro que debe conservar a toda costa su forma de vida y sus bienes, Su amante izquierdita y su presuntuoso hijo no consiguen socavar esa convicción. Nadie lo cuestiona: ni los trabajadores negros que cuidan de su finca en la antigua provincia sudafricana del transvaal, ni los hacenderos boers, que lo desprecian, ni los negros que viven en guetos. Tan sólo el descubrimiento de un hombre muerto, abandonado cerca de un río, comienza a suscitar en él cierta inquietud."@es
  • "Een Engels zakenman in Transvaal bezit een boerderij, oorspronkelijk alleen maar bedoeld om er de weekends door te brengen, maar die hij later gaat zien als een ideaal om in stand te houden en productief te maken."

  • "Mehring is rijk. Hij beschikt over al de privileges en bezittingen die blank Zuid-Afrika ter beschikking staan, maar verliest stilaan de greep op zijn leven. Zijn vrouw, zoon en minnares verlaten hem, zijn ploegbaas en werknemers worden hoe langer hoe ongevoeliger voor zijn rentmeesterschap, en wanneer eerst droogte en dan een overstroming zijn boerderij vernietigen, lijkt het land zelf in opstand te komen. De onrust in Mehrings omgeving is een metafoor voor de beroering die het hele land treft. Alleen een aardverschuiving in zowel woorden als daden kan verdere vernietiging voorkomen. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."
  • "Suspense fiction. Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm. 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."
