About This Novel

This book summarizes the "affirmative" ethics and "pro-social" ethical orientation and social significance of American writer Saul Bellow's novels. Bellow's works reflect a "pro-social" ethical orientation. Bellow opposed extreme individualism, isolation and inaction. He allows his protagonists to transcend self-created or "ideal structures" designed by various so-called "reality mentors", accept the real reality, get out of a state of isolation and indifference, abandon irresponsible egocentric behavior, and assume responsibility for themselves, their families, life and society.
