Beschreibung

<p><b>'<i>The Adventures of Augie March </i>is the Great American Novel. Search no further' Martin Amis</b></p><p>A penniless and parentless Chicago boy growing up in the Great Depression, Augie March drifts through life latching on to a wild succession of occupations, including butler, thief, dog-washer, sailor and salesman. He is a 'born recruit', easily influenced by others who try to mould his destiny. Not until he tangles with the glamorous Thea, a huntress with a trained eagle, can he attempt to break free. A modern day everyman on an odyssey in search of reality and identity, Augie March is the star of star performer in a richly observed human variety show, a modern-day Columbus in search of reality and fulfilment.</p><p><i>The Adventures of Augie March </i>includes an introduction by Christopher Hitchens in Penguin Modern Classics.</p><p>'Funny, poignant, crowded with carnivalesque types and yet narrated by a voice that is lonely and simple, it is Bellow's fat comic masterpiece'<i> Observer</i></p>
