Abstract: Saul Bellow voices his sound ecological criticism in his novels which displays his strong sense of urgency towards human environment and his harmonious ecological view. His novel Deans December is an excellent example. The novel presents not only the alienation between man and nature, but also the profound alienation human being themselves in their confrontation and antagonism with nature. In the novel, Bellow calls for the establishment of a harmonious relationship between men and nature which helps to fundamentally change the natural and social environment, so that the relation between men and nature, men and society will enter into the track of healthy development, thus men can ultimately realize the “romantic return” to nature as well as the beautiful encounter between men and nature.

Key words: Saul Bellow, ecocriticism, sense of urgency, harmonious ecology view, spiritual ecology
