About This Novel

This is an epic story of the era of American economic expansion. Babbitt, a real estate agent in Zenis City, has a prosperous business and a comfortable life. He always promotes moral ethics in order to gain more profits. However, his mechanical lifestyle made him increasingly irritable. When his best friend Paul is imprisoned for shooting his hysterical wife, Babbitt embarks on a journey of rebellion that offends business magnates. Babbitt, who had encountered various obstacles and sabotage in his business, was tired of rebellion and longed to get back on track. His wife's sudden illness helped him return to the group of "decent people" and re-enter the arms of the vulgar philistines and the intrigues of the business order.
