    <![CDATA[As soon as it first appeared in 1953, this gem by the great Saul Bellow was hailed as an   American classic. Bold, expansive, and keenly humorous, <em>The Adventures of Augie March</em>   blends street language with literary elegance to tell the story of a poor Chicago boy growing up   during the Great Depression. A &quot;born recruit,&quot; Augie makes himself available for hire by plungers,   schemers, risk takers, and operators, compiling a record of choices that is—to say the least—  eccentric.]]>

    <![CDATA[The novel, which won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976, is a self-described &quot;comic book about death,&quot; whose title character is modeled on the self-destructive lyric poet Delmore Schwartz. Charlie Citrine, an intellectual, middle-aged author of award-winning biographies and plays, contemplates two significant figures and philosophies in his life: Von Humboldt Fleisher, a dead poet who had been his mentor, and Rinaldo Cantabile, a very-much-alive minor mafioso who has been the bane of Humboldt's existence. Humboldt had taught Charlie that art is powerful and that one should be true to one's creative spirit. Rinaldo, Charlie's self-appointed financial adviser, has always urged Charlie to use his art to turn a profit. At the novel's end, Charlie has managed to set his own course.]]>

    <![CDATA[Abe Ravelstein is a brilliant professor at a prominent midwestern university and a man who glories in training the movers and shakers of the political world. He has lived grandly and ferociously-and much beyond his means. His close friend Chick has suggested that he put forth a book of his convictions about the ideas which sustain humankind, or kill it, and much to Ravelstein's own surprise, he does and becomes a millionaire. Ravelstein suggests in turn that Chick write a memoir or a life of him, and during the course of a celebratory trip to Paris the two share thoughts on mortality, philosophy and history, loves and friends, old and new, and vaudeville routines from the remote past. The mood turns more somber once they have returned to the Midwest and Ravelstein succumbs to AIDS and Chick himself nearly dies.<br/><br/>Deeply insightful and always moving, Saul Bellow's new novel is a journey through love and memory. It is brave, dark, and bleakly funny: an elegy to friendship and to lives well (or badly) lived.]]>

    <![CDATA[  Mr. Artur Sammler, Holocaust survivor, intellectual, and occasional lecturer at Columbia University in 1960s New York City, is a &quot;registrar of madness,&quot; a refined and civilized being caught among people crazy with the promises of the future (moon landings, endless possibilities).  His Cyclopean gaze reflects on the degradations of city life while looking deep into the sufferings of the human soul.  &quot;Sorry for all and sore at heart,&quot; he observes how greater luxury and leisure have only led to more human suffering. To Mr. Sammler—who by the end of this ferociously unsentimental novel has found the compassionate consciousness necessary to bridge the gap between himself and his fellow beings—a good life is one in which a person does what is &quot;required of him.&quot; To know and to meet the &quot;terms of the contract&quot; was as true a life as one could live.  At its heart, this novel is quintessential Bellow: moral, urbane, sublimely humane.]]>

    <![CDATA[This is the definitive collection of short stories by Saul Bellow. Abundant, precise, various, rich and exuberant, the stories display the stylistic and emotional brilliance which characterises this master of prose. Some stories recount the events of a single day, some are contained in a wider frame; each story is a characteristic combination of observation and a celebration of humanity. This volume contains a preface by his wife, Janis Bellow, and an introduction by James Wood. It is an essential collection.]]>

    <![CDATA[Corde is a Professor of Journalism and Dean of students at a Chicago university. His beautiful wife Minna is an internationally known astronomer. As the book opens the couple are in Eastern Europe. Minna had to migrated to America many years before, but now her mother has suffered a stroke and is lying semicouscious in the local State hospital. As Corde tries to help Minna grapple with an alien bureaucracy, to adapt to life in his mother-in-law's small apartment and to cope with her relations and family friends, news filters through to him of problems he has left behind in Chicago. One of his students has been murdered by black criminals; his cousin and his nephew line up against him and try to make him drop the case. A series of articles he is writing for a magazine offends powerful and influential Chicagoans he had thought of as friends. A childhood companion, now a television pundit, shows him unsuspected aspects of his own character. Gradually it becomes clear that Corde's trip abroad is more than a brief interlude in a calm and orderly life and that nothing for him will ever be the same again.  To the familiar Bellow magic and mastery, The Dean's December adds a new sense of urgency, of topicality, and an almost thriller-like tension. The wit, the erudition, the unique and extraordinary use of language will be a delight to admirers of Herzog and Humboldt's Gift; but the framework in which they are displayed represents a completely new departure.]]>

    <![CDATA[The only joke in the human comedy is its name. What's funny about people contesting their fate, breaking their teeth on the traps? Saul Bellow is an observer of this spectacle, not disinterested, but not sweated and bloody, either. His characters may contend, the author remains aloof.  <p>&quot;A fine collection, deeply moving, written by one of the greatest literary artists that America has produced&quot; says the Louisville Times about this book by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976. Stories include &quot;Leaving the Yellow House,&quot; &quot;The Old System,&quot; &quot;Looking for Mr. Green,&quot; &quot;The Gonzaga Manuscripts,&quot; &quot;A Father-to-Be&quot; and &quot;Mosby's Memoirs.&quot;</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Saul Bellow's rare talent has not only earned critical accolades, including the Nobel Prize, it has also made his books perennial bestsellers. Now, in a historic collector's edition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the classic <em>The Adventures of Augie March</em>, readers will rediscover the novels that laid the foundation for Bellow's towering career. <br/><br/> The comic tour-de-force <em>The Adventures of Augie March</em> (1953) introduced to American literature a startlingly original expressiveness-uninhibited, jazzy, infused with Yiddishisms and Depression-era voices. Ebullient irony bears Bellow's prose aloft. March comes of age in a Chicago bustling with characters as large and vital as the city itself, and his travels abroad lead him through love's byways and the disappointments of vanishing youth. Martin Amis calls it &quot;the Great American Novel&quot; for its &quot;fantastic inclusiveness, its pluralism, its qualmless promiscuity. . . . Everything is in here.&quot; <br/><br/> Bellow's sparer first two novels possess a more Flaubertian precision. <em>Dangling Man</em> (1944) penetrates the psychology of a jobless man's anxiousness as he awaits draft orders. <em>The Victim</em> (1947), an increasingly nightmarish story of one man's extraordinary claims on a casual acquaintance, explores our obligations to others and the unfathomable workings of chance. After a half century, Bellow's earliest novels remain as fresh, incisive, and entertaining as ever. Included in this edition are helpful notes and a chronology of the author's life.]]>

Их сила - не в изысканности постмодернизма, но в подлинности восприятия. Отступает время, наступает память - и стиль рассказов Сола Беллоу доходит до `точки кипения`, до точки АБСОЛЮТНОГО раскрытия его редкого писательского дарования… ]]>

    <![CDATA[Присуждение Солу Беллоу Нобелевской премии подтвердило бесспорную истину: он один из выдающихся представителей интеллектуальной прозы в американской литературе XX века. В настоящем сборнике представлены его романы `Между небом и землей` и `Лови момент`. Вних Беллоу обозначает тему, которая впоследствии станет лейтмотивом его творчества, - тему свободы личности и ее взаимоотношений с обществом. ]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[For over forty years Saul Bellow has been writing fiction that  denounces the destructive forces that have dominated the literature of this  century--existential nihilism and historicist pessimism. In novel after  novel--The Adventures of Augie March, Herzog, Humbolt's Gift, Mr. Sammler's  Planet, and others--he has tried to restore the integrity of the private  life, the value of human feeling, and the primacy of social contract, while  proclaiming each individual's perennial access to age-old truths.  <p>In this collection of interviews spanning the period from 1953 to 1991,  Bellow elaborates further upon his fictional treatment of these ideas. Here  the reader finds the wit and urbane commentary that typify this marvelous  writer. He speaks with his interviewers of the changing role of fiction,  the literary establishment, and the place of literature in modern life.  Since no definitive biography of Bellow has yet been written, these  interviews provide valuable insights into the writer that many argue to be  the pre-eminent American novelist of the post-World War II era.</p>]]>
