"Bellow has not only become a master of his own special idiom, that verbal impasto which mixes...racy-tough street Jewishness with high-flown intellectual display; he has also...set forth on a stubborn, uncertain quest for the cup of wisdom....Bellow is a man of high intelligence so that his generalized commentary is intrinsically absorbing, and...he has the rare gift of transforming dialectic into drama, causistry into comedy, so that one is steadily aware of the close relationship between his discursive passages and the central narrative."
Irving Howe, Harper's, 2/70
Review:"The triumph of MR. SAMMLER'S PLANET is the invention of Sammler, with the credentials that accrue to him through his European education...as 'the registrar of madness.' The juxtaposition of the personal plight of the protagonist with the particulars of the social forces he encounters, the resounding, ironic rightness of that juxtaposition, accounts for the impact here, as it does in every memorable fiction."
Philip Roth, New Yorker, 10/09/2000

Book Description: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 2004. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 194 x 128 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. 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). His Cyclopean gaze reflects on the degradations of city life while looking deep into the sufferings of the human soul. "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 this ferociously unsentimental 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. At its heart, this novel is quintessential Bellow: moral, urbane, sublimely humane.Winner of the National Book Award.
