«Babbitt» is the satirical novel by Sinclair Lewis, published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc. in hardcover (in Spanish).
Satirical portrait of a middle-class American torn between appearances and the desire to escape social expectations. With irony, Sinclair Lewis depicts the conformism of his era: everyday frustrations, myths of success, attempts at evasion, and the emptiness of a society devoted to respectability.
The novel was originally published in 1922. Sinclair Lewis received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930; the impact of Babbitt influenced that award.
For readers interested in twentieth-century American literature, social satire, and classics with critical undertones.
Harry Sinclair Lewis was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright.

Lewis wrote six popular novels: Main Street (1920), Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927), Dodsworth (1929), and It Can't Happen Here (1935).
