"For many years Von Humboldt Fleisher and Charles Citrine were the best of friends- Humboldt a grand erratic figure, a great poet; Charlie a young man of frenzied and noble longings, straight out of the Middle West, his heart inflamed with literature. But by the 1970s Humboldt has died of heart failure in New York and Charlie's success-ridden life in Chicago has taken various turn for the worse when Humboldt acts from the grave to change Charlie's life. He has left Charlie something in his will. Charlie comes into a legacy." (from the jacket)

Bellow, Saul. Humboldt's Gift. The Viking Press, New York, New York, U.S.A., 1975.
Price: US$28.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: Overall a nice copy with minor wear; with previous owner name, gift inscription, price-clipped. The novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1976, is a self-described "comic book about death," whose title character is modeled on the self-destructive lyric poet Delmore Schwartz. Charlie Citrine, an intellectual, middle-aged author of award-winning biographies and plays, contemplates two significant figures and philosophies in his life: Von Humboldt Fleisher, a dead poet who had been his mentor, and Rinaldo Cantabile, a very-much-alive minor mafioso who has been the bane of Humboldt's existence. Humboldt had taught Charlie that art is powerful and that one should be true to one's creative spirit. Rinaldo, Charlie's self-appointed financial adviser, has always urged Charlie to use his art to turn a profit. At the novel's end, Charlie has managed to set his own course.

Condition: Fine
Description: 8vo, 487 pages, clothbacked yellow boards, inked name on endpaper. The 1976 Pulitzer Prize Winning novel. This is a curious variant copy. The pages to about page 280 are of a slightly darker hue than the remaining pages. It has been remarked that Viking cheapened the production elements of this book because Bellow negotiated a higher-than-normal royalty. Nonetheless, it was awarded the 1976 Putlizer Prize for Fiction.

Saul Bellow (1915 - 2005) was a Canadian-American writer. For his literary work, Bellow was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the National Medal of Arts. He is the only writer to win the National Book Award for Fiction three times and he received the National Book Foundation's lifetime Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 1990. In the words of the Swedish Nobel Committee, his writing exhibited "the mixture of rich picaresque novel and subtle analysis of our culture, of entertaining adventure, drastic and tragic episodes in quick succession interspersed with philosophic conversation, all developed by a commentator with a witty tongue and penetrating insight into the outer and inner complications that drive us to act, or prevent us from acting, and that can be called the dilemma of our age." His best-known works include The Adventures of Augie March, Henderson the Rain King, Herzog, Mr. Sammler's Planet, Seize the Day, HUMBOLDT'S GIFT, and Ravelstein. Widely regarded as one of the 20th century's greatest authors, Bellow has had a "huge literary influence." HUMBOLDT'S GIFT is a 1975 novel by Canadian-American author Saul Bellow. Parts originally appeared in Playboy magazine. The novel won the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and contributed to Bellow's winning the Nobel Prize in Literature the same year. The novel, which Bellow initially intended to be a short story, is a roman à clef about Bellow's friendship with the poet Delmore Schwartz. It explores the changing relationship of art and power in a materialist America.--Wikipedia An essential title for ALL book collectors! First Edition [printing not specified & presumed first].
