A satirical novel that critiques American middle-class society. The story follows George F. Babbitt, a prosperous, yet dissatisfied, real estate agent in the fictional town of Zenith. Babbitt represents the conformist, materialistic values of his time, struggling with his inner desires and the expectations of society. Through sharp wit and social commentary, Lewis explores themes of individuality, consumerism, and the emptiness of the American Dream, making it a timeless classic. ; Ex-Library; Octavo; ix, 383 pages.
