Saul Bellow, who lived from 1915-2005, was an American novelist and one of the best known American Jewish authors of the 20th century. Bellow was born in Quebec of parents who had come from Russia two years earlier. His family moved to Chicago when he was eleven; his early childhood had been spent in a Montreal slum. He was raised in a Jewish home, and the fluent Yiddish he learned there had a noticeable influence on his English style. After graduating from Northwestern University he taught at various colleges and universities, but his real vocation was writing. "Humboldt's Gift" is not basically a Jewish novel even though its protagonist, CHARLIE CITRINE, is a Jewish author from Chicago. Instead, the book deals with Charlie's attempts to cope with a life style and a career that are turning sour. Bellow is the only author to win the National Book Award three times. He also was awarded both the PULITZER and NOBEL PRIZES in 1976. 462 pages. I offer Combined shipping.

Quite the surprised, at first I thought I ordered something from a pet shop because of the box turns out to be my order xD. My books were well packaged no noticeable box damage internally and externally. They were as described in the listing and shipped promptly in a 2 weeks window. Would recommend seller.
