Description - Ravelstein by Saul Bellow

In time for the centennial of his birth, the Nobel Prize winner’s moving final novel

A Penguin Classic

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.
