«Carpe diem» is the novel by Saul Bellow, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardcover (192 pages, in Spanish).
Wilhelm, a failed actor harassed by his ex-wife, his father and the company that fired him, invests his last seven hundred dollars in the stock market on the advice of the extravagant Dr Tamkin. His attempt to straighten out his life becomes a fall full of ridicule and loneliness, narrated with mordant humor and a very sharp psychological eye.
Originally published in 1956 under the title «Seize the Day», the novel belongs to the Narrativa collection from Galaxia Gutenberg.
For readers of literary fiction who appreciate psychological portraiture and acid humor in twentieth-century American narrative.
