Babbitt

A scathing satire of conformity and the empty pursuit of success, Sinclair Lewis's Babbitt follows the life of George F. Babbitt, a prosperous real estate broker in the Midwestern town of Zenith.

A model citizen and booster, Babbitt blindly champions the virtues of business, progress, and social convention. Yet beneath his complacent exterior stirs a deep dissatisfaction. This masterpiece of American literature brilliantly captures the struggle between individual desire and the relentless pressure to conform, painting a timeless and biting portrait of a man trapped in his own world.
