Inhaltsangabe

"It's one of our favorite American myths that broad plains necessarily make broad minds, and high mountains make high purpose." ― Sinclair Lewis, Main Street Main Street (1920) was Sinclair Lewis's very first novel. Turning a spotlight on the hypocrisy and pettiness of middle America, the novel tells the story of Carol Milford Kennicott and her struggles with the small-town mentality of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota. With its publication, the author immediately established himself as a master of political and social satire, a talent that led to his 1930 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

(HARRY) SINCLAIR LEWIS (1885-1951) was the first American author to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature. Both a novelist and a playwright, he was especially gifted with an ability to write political and social satire, and the characters he created, such as Babbitt, have become synonymous with the value systems they portrayed. Besides Babbitt, some of Lewis's other landmark books include Arrowsmith and Elmer Gantry.
