Babbitt (nobel Prize in Literature)
About This Novel
"Babbitt" is the representative work of American novelist Sinclair Lewis. It is a novel that reflects the life of urban businessmen during the prosperous period of American commercial culture. The protagonist Babbitt is a successful real estate businessman who lives a prosperous but ordinary middle-class life. However, he is attacked by emptiness and tries to find another "real life". To this end, he went out to roam, tried to live a cynical life, and even became infected with revolutionary sentiments. But Babbitt did not have the courage to bear the ensuing social neglect, so he re-invested in family life and business career. At the end of the novel, Babbitt placed his hope on his son. This novel not only creates a typical businessman image "Bobbitt", but also expresses all aspects of the American business culture in the 1820s in a comic style, which has the dual value of cultural observation and artistic appreciation.
