Abstract EN

Saul Bellow (١٩١٥ –٢٠٠٥) is an American novelist and the winner of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes for literature (١٩٧٦).

He is known for his critique of Post-II World War American society.

The research discusses Saul Bellow's Seize the Day (١٩٥٦) in regard of materialism and its impact on the familial ties not only in terms of monetary considerations but also the maltreatment of family members among themselves.

It reviews the materialistic relationship between the father and son on the one hand and the husband and wife on the other hand.

The study aims to recognize to what extent materialism represents a dispersed element for the family unit.
