"An enduring testament and prophecy." -Chicago Sun-Times

Mr. Artur Sammler, Holocaust survivor, intellectual, and occasional lecturer at Columbia University in 1960s New York City, is a "registrar of madness," a refined and civilized being caught among people crazy with the promises of the future (moon landings, endless possibilities). His Cyclopean gaze reflects on the degradations of city life while looking deep into the sufferings of the human soul. "Sorry for all and sore at heart," he observes how greater luxury and leisure have only led to more human suffering. To Mr. Sammler--who by the end of this ferociously unsentimental novel has found the compassionate consciousness necessary to bridge the gap between himself and his fellow beings--a good life is one in which a person does what is "required of him." To know and to meet the "terms of the contract" was as true a life as one could live. At its heart, this novel is quintessential Bellow: moral, urbane, sublimely humane.

Not fragrance free
Size: 6.77 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Works well but definitely not fragrance free. Fortunately I like the smell so it works for me but if you need fragrance free look elsewhere.

Amazing Product
Size: 0.42 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
My absolute favorite lotion. My only regret is it doesn’t come in a larger container! Makes your skin so soft, it absorbs in the skin very nicely and smells amazing. It lasts all day and doesn’t leave skin feeling greasy. Buy it and thank me later

Best lotion I have ever used!
Size: 2.53 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you like a very strong fragrance, you will love this. This smell more like chocolate. I absolutely love the smell. It's a little oily when you first put it on, but after about 10 minutes there is no stickiness. It's really good at keeping your skin soft. If you have ashy spots, like elbows, this will get rid of that within a couple applications. This is also thicker consistency, whereas the "Radiant" version is watery. The Radiant version is easy to find, but this version is harder to find. So, if you like it, I would recommend you by enough to last. I get the feeling this is not going to be available soon.
