Resumen del Editor
An essential masterwork by Nobel laureate Saul Bellow
Expecting to be inducted into the army during World War II, Joseph has given up his job and carefully prepared for his departure to the battlefront. When a series of mix-ups delays his induction, he finds himself facing a year of idleness. Written in diary format, Bellow’s first novel documents Joseph’s psychological reaction to his inactivity while war rages around him and his uneasy insights into the nature of freedom and choice.
Saul Bellow (1915–2005), author of numerous novels, novellas, and stories, was the only novelist to receive three National Book Awards. He also received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. During the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict, he served as a war correspondent for Newsday. He taught at New York University, Princeton, and the University of Minnesota and served as chairman of the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.

Historia
For the past twenty-five years, Margaret Atwood has written works of striking originality and imagination. In The Blind Assassin, she stretches the limits of her accomplishments as never before, creating a novel that is entertaining and profoundly serious. The novel opens with these simple, resonant words: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister drove a car off the bridge." They are spoken by Iris, whose terse account of her sister Laura's death in 1945 is followed by an inquest report proclaiming the death accidental.

One of the 20th century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters: Howard Roarke, a genius; Gail Wynand, a newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire; and Dominique Francon, a devastating beauty.

The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, the first novel Nabokov wrote in English, is a tantalizing literary mystery in which a writer’s half brother searches to unravel the enigma of the life of the famous author of Albinos in Black, The Back of the Moon, and Doubtful Asphodel. A characteristically cunning play on identity and deception, the novel concludes “ I am Sebastian, or Sebastian is I, or perhaps we both are someone whom neither of us knows.”

Of Human Bondage is one of the greatest novels of modern times, and it is certainly Maugham's greatest achievement. It was published in 1914, when Maugham was at the height of his creative powers. The story concerns Philip Carey, afflicted at birth with a club foot, and his passionate search for truth in a cruel world. We follow his growth to manhood, his educational progress, his first loves, and the wrenching tragedies and disappointments that life has in store for him. In some of the finest prose of the 20th century, Maugham has presented us with the timeless story of one man's search for the meaning of life.

Saul Bellow evokes all the rich colors and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson's awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe - but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life.

Historia
Saul Bellow evokes all the rich colors and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson's awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe - but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life.

Fading charmer Tommy Wilhelm has reached his day of reckoning and is scared. In his forties, he still retains a boyish impetuousness that has brought him to the brink of chaos: he is separated from his wife and children; at odds with his vain, successful father; failed in his acting career (a Hollywood agent once placed him as “the type that loses the girl”); and in a financial mess.

Mr. Artur Sammler is, above all, a man who has lasted, from the civilized pleasures of English life in the 1920s and 30s through the war and death camps in Poland. Moving now through the chaotic and dangerous streets of New York's Upper West Side, Mr. Sammler is attentive to everything, and appalled by nothing. He brings the same dispassionate curiosity to the activities of a black pickpocket on an uptown bus, the details of his niece Angela's sex life, and his daughter's lunacy as he does to the extraordinary theories of one Dr. V. Govinda Lal on the use we are to make of the moon.

Here, collected in one volume and chosen by the author himself, are favorites such as "What Kind of Day Did You Have?", "Leaving the Yellow House", and a previously uncollected piece, "By the St. Lawrence". With his larger-than-life characters, irony, wisdom, and unique humor, Bellow presents a sharp, rich, and funny world that is infinitely surprising. With a preface by Janice Bellow and an introduction by James Wood, this is a collection to treasure for longtime Saul Bellow fans and an excellent introduction for new listeners.

In this slyly funny and lavishly inventive novel, Nobel Prize winner V. S. Naipaul traces the unlikely career of Ganesh Ramsumair, a failed schoolteacher and impecunious village masseur who in time becomes a revered mystic, a thriving entrepreneur, and the most beloved politician in Trinidad. Witty, tender, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of Trinidad's dusty Indian villages, The Mystic Masseur is Naipaul at his most expansive and evocative.

The year 2015 marks several literary milestones: the centennial of Saul Bellow's birth, the tenth anniversary of his death, and the publication of Zachary Leader's much anticipated biography. Bellow - a Nobel laureate, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and the only novelist to receive three National Book Awards - has long been regarded as one of America's most cherished authors. Here, Benjamin Taylor, editor of the acclaimed Saul Bellow: Letters, presents lesser-known aspects of the iconic writer.

Historia
Harry Trellman doesn't belong. Not in the Chicago orphanage where he is sent by his mother, not in high school (too brainy), not even on the streets. Human attachments? Yes, he has them, but they are like everything else in his life, singular and irregular. People who know him say that he "drowns his feelings in his face", and that he has a Mongolian "masked look". But though Harry stands apart, he has always been a most keen observer, listener, recorder, and interpreter, and none of this is lost on the Chicago billionaire, Sigmund Adletsky, who takes Harry into his "brain trust".

Almost
What a wonderful, peculiar, almost very painful book. I really enjoyed many of Bellow's passages, marveled at his command. The main character, probably on the edge of falling into deep depression in the 1940s, with no path to a good life, struggles in seeming hopeless anger. I wouldn't have minded if Bellow took the character into depression to see how it would take a toll on someone, knock on wood. Dangling Man will definitely not be a great read/listen for everyone but it was definitely worth my time.

thoughtful
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The novella was Bellow's first and many of the themes he will develop more fully later are already adumbrated here.
What other book might you compare Dangling Man to and why?
Sartre's la Nausee each book looks for life's meaning and sees aimless freedom as inherently meaningless.

Not my favorite Bellows
I generally like Bellows, but I found this book less interesting. The book examines freedom and choice, and has the very subtle Bellows humor, but it lacked something for me. It took me a while to figure out why I did not care for this novel. It was because the protagonist did not love himself. Most Bellows protagonists, despite their failings and limitations, love themselves and that (for me) allows the subtle poking fun at the character to be funny (and not just sad). Here I did not enjoy the character's mistakes and limitations as illuminating and funny, but just sad.
If you love Bellows, you should read this short novel to see the distinction. Otherwise I would not highly recommend this to general readers.
I did not love the narration although it was clear and easy to listen to.

A few gems buried in 6.5 hours of frustrated droll
The character writing this journal is so I’ll-tempered and frustrated that he makes himself seem simple at time. It was delightful to be surprised with the few rare moments of tantalizing philosophical wisdom. The remainder of the story however was far from engaging. I felt very much just along for the ride. I felt fairly satisfied with the conclusion though.

A really great story
This book was fantastic. I found the parallels between it and my life astonishing. I further found this book developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age like myself. I highly recommended it.

Long drag
If this was a non-fiction book great but it’s not, how it was written in a diary format it made the book seems double long. If you don’t mind hearing a lot of “he said, I said, she said, well I said, so-so said” definitely it has its lows and highs

An Interesting Take On Idleness
This is a bit of a slow burn, but the story itself is one worth reading. It gives you a glimspe of the possible negative repercussions of a sedentary, idleness brought about by a lack of employment or engagement. Recommend!

How this found me at the perfect time...
The caption on the image says it all.. Uncanny delineation of one's life in parallel. The degrees of separation between myself & my life and that of the author/character abound, yet the similarities do, too, in proportion. Compound that with the fact that my sister shared an intimate journal entry just 2 days ago and on that same day as I was looking for a new book, noticed this sitting in my library with a note that it is included in my membership until 3/18... I had no idea which referral moved me to add it to my library, but am glad it was there. Finished in 2 days and am blown away by the timing of my life's events compared to those of this book. Bravo.
