«Babbitt» is Sinclair Lewis's satirical novel, published by Bantam Classics in paperback (464 pages, in English).
George F. Babbitt, a prosperous real estate agent, enjoys appliances, brands, and the Republican Party, but soon his model-citizen life feels empty. Resentful of the conventions he has accepted, he tries to escape monotony in search of purpose. A satire of 1920s conformity and materialism.
Originally published in 1922. This Bantam Classics edition includes an introduction by John Wickersham.
Readers who enjoy social satire and classics of American literature will appreciate this work.
Harry Sinclair Lewis was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright.
