  • "Een jonge joodse Amerikaan kiest voor een zwervend bestaan en beleeft vele avonturen."
  • "This novel recounts the unconventional exploits of a man who preferred to change jobs constantly in an age of specialization."
  • "Describes the life of Augie March, a poor Chicago boy growing up during the Depression, and his search for a career."
  • "Augie March is a poor Chicago boy growing up during the Great Depression. A 'born recruit', he latches on to a wild succession of occupations, then proudly rejects each one as too limiting. He goes on to recruit himself to even more outlandish projects, but always ducks out in time to continue improvising his unconventional career."

  • "Augie March is a Jewish-American boy growing up fatherless and poor in Depression-era Chicago. He seeks a "special destiny," although his circumstances seem to position him for a uniquely disappointing life: his family consists of a simple-minded mother, a brother and "grandmother" who prove to be Machiavellian in their intentions, and an "idiot" youngest brother, Georgie."@en

  • "Traduction française d'un gros roman picaresque écrit en langue américaine et publié en 1953 par Viking Press sous le titre suivant: ##The adventures of Augie March##. Il s'agit d'un livre majeur (très apprécié du public, en particulier de Jacques Monod), centré sur la société américaine du XXe siècle et plus précisément sur les milieux émigrés russes de Chicago. Ecriture savoureusement hybride. Saül Bellow a reçu le prix Nobel de littérature en 1976."
  • ""With a rare blend of naive and sophisticated candor the hero, Augie March, described as a "runner after good things, servant of love, embarker on schemes, recruit of sublime ideas and good-time Charlie" takes the reader with him on his "campaign after a worthwhile fate." A picaresque twentieth-century adventure tale with an amazingly real assortment of characters, a vast number of episodes ranging in location from Chicago to Mexico, to shipwreck at sea, and finally to Europe, and an original, deceptively simple style of writing. Since, with his uninhibited zest for life, Augie embarks upon and describes numerous unconventional ethical and moral enterprises, the book is definitely for mature readers."--Booklist Review."

  • "The Adventures of Augie March blends street language with literary elegance to tell the story of a poor Chicago boy growing up during the Great Depression. A "born recruit," Augie makes himself available for hire by plungers, schemers, risk takers, and operators, compiling a record of choices that is-to say the least- eccentric."
  • "Augie's attitude is that he belong to the party of the opposition which is called life."@en
