"What Henry James did for the geographically disoriented, Bellow does for the culturally traumatized in the six stories gathered in this collection. Truly, Bellow is one of God's spies." -Los Angeles Times A Penguin Classic In six darkly comic tales, Saul Bellow presents the human experience in all its preposterousness, poignancy, and pathos. In the title story, a professor well-known for his wit struggles to animate his memoirs as he teeters on the brink of despair; in "the old System," a distinguished biochemist tries to find room in his life for love; and in "A Father to Be," a man is startled to find himself seated next to his future adult son on a New York subway. The other stories, too, reflect Bellow's special ability to depict men and women confronting, in highly idiosyncratic ways, the enigmas and oddities of existence. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.… (meer)

I think his short stories are better than his major. Highly recommended. ( )

De buren - er woonden in het geheel zes blanken aan Sego Desert Lake - zeiden tegen elkaar dat de oude Hattie het niet langer in haar eentje kon bolwerken.

Quella fu una giornata in cui il dottor Braun fece un gran pensare. Inverno. Sabato. La breve fine di dicembre. Solo nel suo appartamento, s'era svegliato tardi, era rimasto disteso nel letto fino a mezzogiorno, a rimuginare un pensiero - una sensazione: Ora la si vede, ora no. Ora una soddisfazione, ora una lacuna. Ora un individuo importante, una forza, un'esistenza necessaria; tutt'a un tratto nulla. Una cornice senza dipinto, uno specchio senza vetro. La sensazione dell'esistenza necessaria può essere la vitalità aggressiva, istintiva che abbiamo in comune con un cane o una scimmia. La differenza sta nel potere della mente o dello spirito a dichiarare Io sono. Più l'inevitabile inferenza Io non sono. Il dottor Braun non era più soddisfatto di essere più che di non essere. Gli pareva si avvicinasse un'epoca di equilibrio. Che bello! Comunque, non aveva un progetto adatto a mettere il mondo in un ordine razionale, e senza un motivo particolare si alzò.
Il giorno del perdono
Oh, questi Ebrei - questi Ebrei! I loro sentimenti, i loro cuori! Il dottor Braun desiderava spesso più di ogni altra cosa che tutto questo cessasse. Ma sì, che cosa ne veniva? Uno dopo l'altro, si cedeva la propria morte. Uno per uno se ne andavano. Ce ne andiamo. Infanzia, famiglia, amicizia, amore sono soffocati nella tomba. E quelle lacrime! Quando si piangevano dal cuore, si sentiva di giustificare qualcosa, si capiva qualcosa. Ma che cosa si capiva? Di nuovo, niente! Era solo un'intimazione capire. Una promessa che l'umanità potrebbe - potrebbe, badate - eventualmente, attraverso il suo dono che potrebbe - potrebbe di nuovo! - essere un dono divino, intendere perché vive. Perché vita, perché morte.
