Bellow, Saul - Herzog - ( Item 131852 )

Published in London by Folio Society. 2012. First Thus. Near Fine Hardback. Corners slightly bumped at the top. No inscriptions or bookplates. Very Good+ slipcase. Some marks to panels of slipcase. Introduced by Malcolm Bradbury. A masterpiece from one of North America's greatest post-war writers, illustrated with a series of mid-century photographs by Leonard Freed, Ansel Adams and others. Herzog. Considered one of the greatest literary expressions of postwar America, this is a masterpiece by one of America's finest novelists. Herzog traces five days in the expansive, troubled mind of a failing academic, cuckolded by his best friend and usurped as a father. Eventually retreating to his abandoned home in rural Massachusetts, Moses Herzog commits himself to solitude and sets out to understand the energies and influences – within him and without – that have shaped his life. In a series of letters, he addresses the women on whom much of his identity has depended – his mistresses, his dead mother and his ex-wife, the beautiful, cruel Madeleine. He writes to President Eisenhower and the philosophers Nietzsche and Hegel. He jots, even, a few lines to God. Herzog's missives – never sent – are at once manic and inspired, poignant and darkly comical. 'I go after reality with language,' he says. Production Details. Herzog book.
