The work

All the way literary Bellow is characterized by an emerging sensitivity to seeking those reflections that can meet great because life and meanings of being in the world and the reasons for their being. The great intellectual workings not overshadows the sphere of human feelings, rather, it is sometimes the narrative action to pay the consequences.

The anti-heroes of Bellow are mostly men in crisis, searching for themselves, without, at times, of great quality, who are struggling to fit into their social context through which Bellow communicate their emotions and ideas. The picture that gives us Bellow is the condition of modern and contemporary ills, ranging from neurosis to frustrations .

Even the first Bellow novel, Dangling Man (Dangling Man, 1944 ), is a novel diary that contains the most important aspects of the setting of the author. The protagonist, a far cry from the costumes American superomistici, puts aside superdinamismo inactive and spends a long time to re-examine his life, opting to join the army just to escape the responsibilities of the job.

The second novel The victim (The Victim, 1947 ), tells of the conflict between two colleagues, but also between two opposite personalities, one dedicated to the life pragmatic, the other committed to deepening moral issues.

The Adventures of Augie March (The Adventures of Augie March, 1952 ) is a novel in which the rumination allows room for imaginative action. But it is a short interval, because deep reflection permeates the next work day of reckoning (Seize the Day, 1956 ), in which the protagonist, Tommy takes stock of his life.
Another character in crisis is the protagonist of the Rain King (Henderson the Rain King, 1959 ), a moral fable set in an ' Africa imaginative, which is the background to the need for escape mechanisms and materialism Western , and instead allows an immersion in an atmosphere of spiritual research to respond to the issues of life and death, facilitated by human relationship that the protagonist has with the queen and the king of Wariri .

Bellow is allowed at this point in his career, a short break from work and uses it for writing his masterpiece Herzog (Herzog, 1964 ), a biography of a middle-aged professor who unleashed their existential anxieties by writing letters, never sent , to friends, to the president of the United States, to God and to himself.

Another novel of the most significant is the planet of Mr. Sammler (Mr. Sammler's Planet, 1968 ), a work technically well cared for, in which a widower escaped to ' Holocaust notes with a benevolent eye to the challenge of the flower children .

The humorous parable focuses on the absurdity of life Humboldt's Gift (Humboldt's Gift, 1975 ) concludes the first phase of the author.
In the following works Bellow shows a growing tendency to pessimism and all'incupimento. [6] It should be noted the novel 's disappearance (A Theft, 1988 ), in which the protagonist is a successful woman in professional life, but with shadows obligations, which concern its scope sentimental.
