Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1975, Saul Bellow published his eighth novel, Humboldt's Gift, in which the main protagonist is occupied with, among other things, the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Although the novel was an immediate success and won a Pulitzer Prize, leading to Bellow's Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976, the unapologetic presence of Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy in a work of such obvious cultural importance was, and remains, puzzling for many commentators. A sentence from one contemporary review of the novel is typical: "I am not clear whether Charlie's devotion to Steiner's Anthroposophy is one of Mr. Bellow's more obscure jokes or is meant seriously."Those readers with more than a passing knowledge of Steiner's work, however, immediately recognized that an authentic effort to come to terms with anthroposophy in an unbiased way was behind Bellow's artful depiction of Charlie Citrine.Stephen Usher, who later became the manager of the Anthroposophic Press (now SteinerBooks), was one such reader. This book offers a personal account of the conversations and correspondence that followed their meeting through a mutual acquaintance, and includes the foreword Saul Bellow wrote then for the book of lectures by Rudolf Steiner, The Boundaries of Natural Science.

Paperback. Condition: New. For over forty years Saul Bellow has been writing fiction that denounces the destructive forces that have dominated the literature of this century--existential nihilism and historicist pessimism. In novel after novel--The Adventures of Augie March, Herzog, Humbolt's Gift, Mr. Sammler's Planet, and others--he has tried to restore the integrity of the private life, the value of human feeling, and the primacy of social contract, while proclaiming each individual's perennial access to age-old truths.In this collection of interviews spanning the period from 1953 to 1991, Bellow elaborates further upon his fictional treatment of these ideas. Here the reader finds the wit and urbane commentary that typify this marvelous writer. He speaks with his interviewers of the changing role of fiction, the literary establishment, and the place of literature in modern life. Since no definitive biography of Bellow has yet been written, these interviews provide valuable insights into the writer that many argue to be the pre-eminent American novelist of the post-World War II era. …

"People say, don't waste my time, don't tell me anything superfluous, give me something necessary, really necessary.I wouldn't dream of publishing anything that would waste people's time.

What is he going to say after the revolution of 1905, World War I, the Russian Revolution, the rise of Fascism, the great depression, World War II, the atomic bomb and all these other tremendous movements of destiny which have charmed mankind out of its shoes?".
