The younger

Very intellectual and self ironic humour. Also many of the jewish immigrants come from
europe and their background is not hebrew but Yiddish-indoeuropean language based on
German. Bellows novels are filled with metaphysical reflection on what man is, on the future
of civilization and Bellow is trying to analyze fundamental truths, veritys of life. In a way he

rather than symphaty.
,,Herzog". One character novel, practically the whole novel is about Moses Herzog. He feels
alienated and stranged and sees life through the eyes of an alienated person, he is a professor
