Cultural Americana: Stories with Depth and Texture
Saul Bellow selected the stories in this anthology which span the era of the late 1940s to mid-1950s. It includes a broad range of people, places, and topics. Each story is a richly textured, deep memory file of detail, depth, and description making every sentence and ...
Gimpel the Fool: And Other Stories
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
, 2006
Two of the greatest stories of all time
This book of four stories contains two that I consider among the best Singer ever wrote, and among the best of all time, 'Gimpel the Fool' and ' The Spinoza of Market Street'. Gimpel is the eternal innocent, the good person who life and its cruelty continually mock and ...
Mr. Sammler's Planet (Penguin Classics)
Saul Bellow
Penguin Classics
, 2004
Prescient Deserving of Appreciation
For me, Saul Bellow can do no wrong. What a prescient, timely book. Easily misunderstood or falsely judged by non-fans, this exploration of a "registrar of madness" is impeccable with just one incidence of a unBellow-like overshooting. Yet, it should give us ...
Saul Bellow: Novels 1956-1964: Seize the Day, Henderson the Rain King, Herzog (Library of America)
Saul Bellow

A beautiful edition of three powerful works by an American master
These are three very fine, even great, novels. Of course, one doesn't simply dash through Bellow. Each page requires and rewards close reading. While Bellow has been criticized for putting some things in his novels to show off his vast erudition, I found those ...
Humboldt's Gift (Penguin Classics)
Saul Bellow
Penguin Classics
, 2008
Bellow's Best
I read several other of Bellow's novels and frankly found none of them very memorable. I was disappointed and a bit surprised; I'd enjoyed virtually all of Roth's work and couldn't understand why Bellow left me cold. I'd started Humboldt's Gift and given it up after ...
The Adventures of Augie March (Penguin Classics)
Saul Bellow
Penguin Classics
, 2006
Well deserving Great American Tale [81][T]
At this point in my life, I believe that American literature peaks when the topic is relatively simple: describe a rags to riches odyssey by a young person whose urban environment's school of hard knocks leads him or her to great fortune - monetary or otherwise. ...
Henderson the Rain King (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin)
Saul Bellow
Penguin Classics
, 1996
The self exploration of a miserable man
I picked this book up from my local library after spotting it on Modern Library's list of the 100 greatest novels, and because of all the critical praise regarding it, I expected a story with obvious weight and drama; something like Huck Finn or Slaughterhouse Five. ...
Seize the Day (Penguin Classics)
Saul Bellow
Penguin Classics
, 2003
Elegant and Precise
Saul Bellow needs little introduction. This slight book, however, is not his most well known. It may be the most accessible, a sip before diving into larger, more daunting works. Despite its brevity, this story of a day in the life of Tommy Wilhelm packs punch. ...
Ravelstein (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century)
Saul Bellow
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2001
Excellent
This freewheeling and lucid book charmed me to a higher place, as a man and as a reader.
Herzog (Penguin Classics)
Saul Bellow
Penguin Classics
, 2003
Laugh, look, and reconsider
It is a comedy. He is making fun of the whole academic circuit. Read his foreword to "Closing of the Amrican Mind"- another book worth reading-, he discusses how people misinterpret his book as a mental challenge. Then notice the coincidence with the 1-star reviews. ...

Saul Bellow: Novels 1944-1953: Dangling Man, The Victim, and The Adventures of Augie March (Library of ...
Saul Bellow
Library of America
, 2003
Undisputably worthy of recognition and respect
Bellow: Novels 1944-1953 collects three novels by renowned author Saul Bellow: "Dangling Man"; "The Victim"; and "The Adventures Of Augie March". These three literary works distinguished Bellow as a great writer of the postwar era and set the groundwork for his ...
It All Adds Up: From the Dim Past to the Uncertain Future (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century)
Saul Bellow
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 1995
A very valuable collection of essays
It All Adds Up, a collection of essays, written with Saul Bellow's great human insight, literary qualities and dry wit. Of course for everybody whom have read Herzog, Humboldt's Gift, The Adventures of Augie March and Henderson the Rain King should just run and get ...
Herzog
Saul Bellow
Viking
, 1964
Herzog
A period piece from the early 60's. Interesting if one wants a to look behind the eyes of a self-indulged Jewish academic and see what type of writing was popular in the intellectual circles of that era.
The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison (Modern Library Classics)
Ralph Ellison
Modern Library
, 2003
Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison
The book arrived pretty quickly - much quicker than I expected - and it's in very good condition. No complaints out of this company. It got here quick (it was shipped the next day and arrived about 2 or 3 days later) and there was no problem with the product. I'd ...
