Babbitt (collected Works of the Nobel Prize in Literature)
About This Novel
The protagonist, George Follansby Babbitt, is a prosperous real estate agent in Zenith. The author takes a cross-section of Babbitt's life and depicts a genre painting of urban life in the American Midwest in the 1920s with vivid and concise writing, bright colors, and witty style, vividly portraying the representative figures of the middle-class bourgeoisie. Although Zenis is a fictional name, it has typical meaning and can be regarded as any city in the United States. In that highly commercialized capitalist society, everything, including the products of human spiritual civilization, are reduced to commodities. Doctors, lawyers, priests, poets and scholars have become wage laborers paid for by the bourgeoisie. There is no other connection between people, only naked interests and ruthless "cash transactions."

This version is too casually translated, I suggest you read the original version!
I came to watch it after reading the introduction. It's really good.
