Sobre este artículo
New York: The Viking Press, 1970. First edition of the author's third National Book Award-winning novel. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Alderman and Lois Stone from an old Tulyite Saul Bellow March 16' 87." The recipient was Bernard and Lois Stone, the former a politician from the city of Chicago. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket with a touch of rubbing to the spine. Jacket design by Mel Williamsom. Saul Bellow is the only author to have received three National Book Awards, for The Adventures of Augie March, Herzog, and Mr. Sammler’s Planet, in addition to both the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes. The Sunday Times praised these achievements when it revered "Bellow’s oeuvre [as] both timeless and ruthlessly contemporary.
Sinopsis
Saul Bellow was a Canadian-born American writer. For his literary contributions, Bellow was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the National Medal of Arts. Mr. Sammler’s Planet was the 1971 recipient of the National Book Awards. In this compelling reflection of life in New York City at the end of the 1960’s, Mr. Sammler is an aging Holocaust survivor who literally pulled himself out of a mass grave created when Nazi’s gunned victims down during an action. The novel follows a few days in the life of Sammler as he is living among his rich nephew’s family and his own daughter’s. Very sore of heart, he reflects on the degradations of city life and observes the sufferings of the human soul. An astute, moral and ultimately sublime novel, it is compelling and well-told.
