BELLOW EVOKES ALL THE RICH COLOR and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson’s awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe—but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life.

读后感

怎样的生活才能令人满足？家财万贯？尽享天伦？名利双收？又或者，真正完全令人满足的生活永远也不会到来？ 索尔·贝娄如是说：“有的人以存在为满足，有的人却追求变化。满足于存在的人气运亨通，追求变化的人遭尽厄运，总是心烦意乱。求变化的人总在向求存在的人提供解释或...  

怎样的生活才能令人满足？家财万贯？尽享天伦？名利双收？又或者，真正完全令人满足的生活永远也不会到来？ 索尔·贝娄如是说：“有的人以存在为满足，有的人却追求变化。满足于存在的人气运亨通，追求变化的人遭尽厄运，总是心烦意乱。求变化的人总在向求存在的人提供解释或...  

索尔·贝娄的作品有许多都类似于流浪体小说，至少其中期作品占主要内容，此书中的亨德森即是如此，他都流浪到非洲原始部队去了，但与传统的流浪体小说不同在于，贝娄笔下的流浪者不是用自己的眼睛去观察社会，揭露现实，思考问题。亨德森则是寻找自我，算是自我的心灵流浪之旅...

了不起的索贝娄

Healing your soul with Out Of Africa and Galapagos and struggling with your tiresome and normal desires. Bellow is not a trouble that serious literature always stand for, undue contraption and bound to enlarge your vocabulary. It's not he. Anyway, suffering is not a certain but makes you treasure your family even millionaire beckons for proofs.

了不起的索贝娄

让人感动。动物隐喻也好：被赶走的马，纽约州的猪，老宅里的猫，马里布的海豹，Arnewi部落的牛，Dahfu生命中的两头狮子，安大略的老熊。死亡与亨德森形影不离，他所见闻的新生又给了他继续生活的力量。一本让我有勇气过下去的书。
