<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>It blazes as fiercely and scintillatingly as a forest fire. There is life here; a great rage to live more fully. In this it is a giant among novels. (San Francisco Examiner) <p/>A Penguin Classic</b> <p/> Saul Bellow evokes all the rich colors and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson's awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe--but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, <i>Henderson the Rain King</i> is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life. <p/> This Penguin Classics edition contains an introduction by Adam Kirsch. <p/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
