Sobre este artículo
New York: The Viking Press, 1970. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. 8x5x1. First edition. Slightly musty. Jacket base stained and slightly wrinkled. A few spots on boards. 1970 Hard Cover. 313 pp. Who is Mr. Sammler' A Jewish intellectual educated in Western philosophy, a one-eyed Holocaust survivor, the future author of the greatest biography ever written of H.G. Wells ... or merely the trusted confidant of countless eccentric New Yorkers, a "registrar of follies"' Through the chaotic streets of the Upper West Side old Artur Sammler paces, meditating on the human condition; attentive to everything and appalled by nothing; haunted by his past, present, and future. His world seems on the brink of apocalypse; both the recent moon landing and the death of his beloved benefactor have him furiously speculating on the end. With his inimitable tragicomic mastery Saul Bellow delves once again, and the reader with him, into a contemporary and chaotic universe in which the most profound reflections on the meaning of life mingle with the absurd, histrionic, endless minutiae of the every day.
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.
