Description
"Master of the short phrase and the grand form…"—that is Saul Bellow, repeatedly called the most significant English-language writer of the second half of the 20th century. His talent has been honored with the highest literary prize in the United States—the Pulitzer Prize—and the world’s highest literary award—the Nobel Prize. In Vanity Fair it was rightly written: “Bellow is the most outstanding American novelist alongside Faulkner.”
About this novel, Henry Miller said: “I can only dream of writing like this.”
Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller admired this novel.
Critics unanimously recognize it as one of the best American works of the 20th century. Rock musicians wrote songs for it; it became the basis of the libretto for a popular rock opera, and also for one of the cult episodes of “The X-Files.”
But what so captivated both literary scholars and writers—and the most ordinary readers—about the story of an aging millionaire, Eugene Henderson, who escapes his familiar life to Africa and becomes the king of rain for a small poor tribe?"
