Saul Bellow is recognized as one of the most celebrated writers of the twentieth century. With an impersonal vein, his writing searches the meaning of human existence in the mechanical world. He often explains the introspective individual sorting out a conflict between traditional and modern world values. In 1976, he was awarded the Nobel Prize “for the human undrstanding and subtle analysis of contemporary culture”. Jean – Paul Sartre is the exponent of French existentialism which has given Bellow inspiration for his novels. He has felt that such a time of purposefulness could only be momentary. Bellow has tried to provide a more permanent meaning to modern existence with the help of this philosophy.
