Sinclair Lewis

Language: English

Published: Jan 2, 1922

Description:

Satirical novel about American tradition, society, and middle-class strain in the direction of conformity. An immediately and arguable bestseller, Babbitt turned into influential within the selection to award Lewis the Nobel Prize in literature. The phrase 'Babbitt' entered the English language as a person and especially a enterprise or professional guy who conforms unthinkingly to prevailing center-magnificence dogmas.
