Saul Bellow - Mr Sammler`s Planet
Penguin, 1977
252 str.
Meki povez
Stanje: dobro

Mr. Artur Sammler, Holocaust survivor, intellectual, and occasional lecturer at Columbia University in 1960s New York City, is a `registrar of madness`, a refined and civilized being caught among people crazy with the promises of the future (moon landings, endless possibilities). `Sorry for all and sore at heart`, he observes how greater luxury and leisure have only led to more human suffering.
To Mr. Sammler—who by the end of the novel has found the compassionate consciousness necessary to bridge the gap between himself and his fellow beings—a good life is one in which a person does what is `required of him`. To know and to meet the `terms of the contract` was as true a life as one could live.
