Sinclair Lewis's Babbitt presents a satirical portrait of American middle-class life in the 1920s, chronicling the mundane existence and burgeoning discontent of George F. Babbitt, a successful real estate agent in the fictional city of Zenith. The novel masterfully illustrates the pressures of conformity and the pursuit of the American Dream, revealing the emptiness beneath a veneer of material success. Lewis’s sharp wit and keen observations expose the hypocrisies and provincialism of the era, making it a timeless commentary on societal expectations and individual aspirations. This classic work of American literature remains a powerful and often humorous examination of the human condition within a rapidly changing world.
