Babbitt

"Babbitt" is a 1922 satirical novel by American writer Sinclair Lewis. It concerns American culture and society, critiquing the emptiness of life in the middle-class and social conformity. This masterful and entertaining tale will appeal to those with an interest in American viscosity in the early twentieth century, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Harry Sinclair Lewis (February 7, 1885 - January 10, 1951), also known as Sinclair Lewis, was an American writer of short stories, novelist, and playwright. He was the first American writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he was well-known for his profound and profoundly critical ideas pertaining to American capitalism and materialism. Other notable works by this author include: "The Trail of the Hawk: A Comedy of the Seriousness of Life" (1915), "The Job: An American Novel" (1917), and "The Innocents: A Story for Lovers" (1917). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
