Specificatii
Winner of the Nobel Prize and a towering figure of
twentieth-century literature, Saul Bellow secured his place as one
of the most distinctive and significant writers of the postwar era
with the publication of his third novel, The Adventures of Augie
March. This Library of America volume collects all three of
Bellow's early works, beginning with Dangling Man (1944), an
incisive character study cast in the form of a diary that depicts
the anguish and uncertainty of a man known only as Joseph.
Expecting to be deployed to the war overseas, Joseph quits his job
and finds himself increasingly on edge when his draft board defers
his enlistment. The first of his many books to take place in
Chicago, Dangling Man is a spare, haunting novel in which Bellow
lays bare Joseph's dilemma with rigorous precision and subtlety.
The Victim (1947), which Bellow described as a novel whose theme is
guilt, is an unsettling moral parable. Left alone in New York City
while his wife is visiting her family, Asa Leventhal is confronted
by a former co-worker whom he can barely remember. What seems like
a chance encounter evolves into an uncanny bond that threatens to
ruin Leventhal's life. As their relationship grows ever more
volatile, Bellow stages a searching exploration of our obligations
toward others. In a radical change of direction, Bellow next wrote
The Adventures of Augie March (1953). Its eponymous hero grows up
in a bustling Chicago peopled by characters as large as vital as
the city itself, then sets off on travels that lead him through the
byways of love and the disappointments of a fast-vanishing youth.
Exuberant, uninhibited, jazzy, infused with Yiddishisms and a
panoply of Depression-era voices, Augie March is borne aloft by an
ebullient sense of irony. Winner of the 1954 National Book Award
and praised by writers and critics ranging from Alfred Kazin to
Salman Rushdie and Martin Amis, The Adventures of Augie March has
had a lasting impact that shows no sign of abating.
