The Tate Modern in London made Herzog & de Meuron famous all over the world. The projects and structures they have built since then are distinguished by the sensitive treatment of materials for which the architects are renowned. In addition, these Pritzker Prize-winning architects have developed a topographical conception of architecture that not only locates their designs in a larger context but also frequently structures them as landscapes. In order to represent them, the layout of volume 4 of the complete works has been completely redesigned. The publication contains essays by the architects themselves in which they situate their projects. The structures presented include such icons of contemporary architecture as the Prada store in Tokyo Aoyama and the Allianz Arena in Munich, where the opening game of the 2006 Soccer World Cup was played. Pathbreaking museum structures such as the Schaulager near Basel, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the De Young Museum in San Francisco continue the conversation surrounding what constitutes a truly contemporary presentation of modern art.ISBN : 3764386401

Herzog is one of Bellow's most enduring characters and this is one of his best books. When not screwing up his life, his letters to people real, dead and imaginary kept me laughing the entire time. I loved how despite everything, there is a feeling of exuberance about life in this book and it made me want to go back and read it again in a year. Highly entertaining, there is never a dull moment and lots and lots of humor. I would say for those that have not read Bellow that this is an excellent j...more

The Noble Lion
Moses Herzog is an academic, an individual who is used to seeing himself as a prince, a noble, a patrician, a patriarch. He's not a plebeian. He's not upwardly mobile. He believes he's already at the peak. He's somebody who stands out from the crowd. He has dignity.

Most of us have one big advantage over rich people and fictional characters when it comes to dealing with our personal issues. For example, look at Moses Herzog in this book. Herzog goes through an ugly divorce, and his circumstances allow him to wallow in his misery and behave erratically for months. I’m sure any of us in similar circumstances would like to put our lives on hold as we picked at our emotional scabs while ignoring our jobs and taking trips across Europe.

Considering that it's a novel with nothing you could call a plot, Herzog is an inexhaustible book. It touches on elemental human relationships (sexual, familial, social) and spins off into lofty philosophical debates, reflections on civilization, on the meaning of death, and on the American experience. It tempts a reader into close analysis while at the same time mocking such analysis. Moses Herzog is at once the most meticulously observed of characters and the most impossible to grasp as a whol...more

Moses Elkanah Herzog must be one of the most maddening protagonists in literature, but at the same time you can’t help but love him. This was my second Bellow novel, and I found it a challenging read: I kept setting the book aside, then picking it up only to read another 10 or 20 pages before setting it aside again. There were definitely moments when I thought I wouldn’t make it to the end, but then Bellow would come out with an amazing line that convinced me to give his alter ego another try.

For a while Saul Bellow seemed poised to become one of the 20th century's most famous authors, but he seems to have faded into the second tier nowadays. He doesn't have the visceral power of Steinbeck,Wright or Baldwin, or the technical ambition of Faulkner or Woolf; he just writes good books. Maybe that cost him. My reaction to Augie March was, well, there's certainly nothing wrong with this book, nor is it going to change my life. 'That's a good book,' I thought. 'Moving on.'

'Pray tell me, Sir, whose dog are you?'
What is the world for the intellectual? The playground of his ideas or the hell of his emotions? For Moses Hezog, a forty-seven-year old former Professor in a mid-life crisis it is certainly both. Recently gone through a messy divorce and the tragi-comedy of a marital triangle, the hero looks for the cathartic liberation from this emotional ballast in two ways: by writing letters to acquaintances and strangers, to the living and the dead, and by remembering...more

I can't imagine what it would have been like to have read this when it first was published. The power, the storm, the frenzy of Bellow's words is amazing. It is almost impossible to compare him to another writer. I don't mean to say that he is a better writer than others. It is just hard to group or contain him. He isn't bounded by boundaries. Sure, he is a madman, but there are no institutions built to contain him.
When I read this, I was living in the Berkshires not far from Herzog--or at least, not far from Norman Mailer in the summers. (Mailer would take his grandson-aged son to the Berkshire AA baseball games, in his Corvette.) Even closer than Herzog and Mailer lived two Russian BSO violinists and a Hungarian trombonist, in the summers. I improved my Russian through their aegis, but not my Hungarian. I was a college professor like Herzog, though not as sought-after by different institutions, nor yet a...more

'Herzog' will be a source of great entertainment for those with knife wounds in the back but will be of limited appeal elsewhere. In it Bellow assumes a stance of Olympian disdain for man's intellectual pretensions and biting cynicism about human relations as he settles scores with his second wife who in real life appears to have bested him in their conjugal war. Woody Allen of course achieved great success in the commercial cinema using the same approach that Bellows employs. in Herzog.

The novel begins, told in the third person, the narrator fully aware of Herzog’s thoughts and feelings but apparently of no one else’s, everyone else being described from Herzog’s point of view.

Bellow uses metaphor richly and creatively, skillfully crafting a picture of Herzog’s irony as well as his suffering.

This is a tough one to evaluate. I guess Moses Herzog is a typical (Jewish) intellectual who absolutely can not cope with the ordinary things of life. After two divorces he is confronted with the harsh reality. He tries to fight his midlife crisis and the rising frenzy by writing dozens of letters to friends, but also to celebrities. After many wanderings he finds, through a new wife and the solitary contemplation of nature, more or less peace with himself and life. That's the basic story. Quite...more
