Mr. Sammler's Planet
by Saul Bellow
Review this book!
In Saul Bellow's 1970 more-bitter-than-sweet novel about alienation and moral decay, Artur Sammler, a 70-year-old survivor of Auschwitz, spends his days quietly and pointlessly in New York. An intellectual and academic, he lectures occasionally at Columbia University but spends most of his time drifting about the city, trying to make sense of an utterly foreign world--a world he despises and despairs of. On the eve of the moon landing in 1969, Sammler can envision the possibility of a new world but is unable to ascertain if it will be a better one--or the end of civilization as we know it....

Media Reviews
"Bellow has not only become a master of his own special idiom, that verbal impasto which mixes...racy-tough street Jewishness with high-flown intellectual display; he has also...set forth on a stubborn, uncertain quest for the cup of wisdom....Bellow is a man of high intelligence so that his generalized commentary is intrinsically absorbing, and...he has the rare gift of transforming dialectic into drama, causistry into comedy, so that one is steadily aware of the close relationship between his discursive passages and the central narrative."
