The Adventures of Augie March (Penguin Classics)

The Adventures of Augie March (Penguin Classics)

â€œThe Adventures of Augie March is the great American Novel. Search no further.â€ â€“Martin Amis

As soon as it first appeared in 1953, this novel by the great Saul Bellow was hailed as an American classic. Augie, the exuberant narrator-hero is a poor Chicago boy growing up during the Great Deptression. A â€œborn recruit,â€ Augie makes himself available for a series of occupations, then proudly rejects each one as unworthy. His own oddity is reflected in the companions he encountersâ€”plungers, schemers, risk-takers, and â€œhole-and cornerâ€ operators like the would-be tycoon Einhorn or the would-be siren Thea, who travels with an eagle trained to hunt small creatures. This Penguin Classics edition, with an introduction by celebrated writer and critic Christopher Hitchens, makes a literary masterpiece available to a new generation of readers.
