Ravelstein
ByPublisher Description
This Penguin Classics edition commemorates the fifteenth anniversary of Viking’s first publication of Ravelstein. Featuring a new introduction by Gary Shteyngart, it is the final novel of Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow and rounds out the entirety of his major works in Penguin Classics black spine.
Deeply insightful, Saul Bellow’s moving last novel is a journey through love and memory, an elegy to friendship, and a poignant meditation on death. Told in memoir form, it follows two university professors, one of whom is succumbing to AIDS, as they share thoughts on philosophy and history, loves and friends, mortality and art.

“A remarkable volume. Anyone who situates themselves in or around the academe should read it. I have lots of thoughts, feelings, and disagreements with both Bellow and Bloom. This book however helped me understand deep questions my soul has been wrestling with and perhaps directions to plumb the depths further.
"With what in this modern democracy will you meet the demands of your soul?"”
