Nacque a Sauk Centre, Minnesota, nel 1885. Fu il primo scrittore a rifiutare un Premio Pulitzer e il primo americano a ricevere il Nobel per la letteratura. La sua analisi della vacuità borghese, dell’ipocrisia perbenista e la polemica sui dogmi dell’arrivismo yankee hanno condizionato e ispirato gran parte della produzione letteraria americana del Novecento. Tra le sue opere ricordiamo La via principale (1920), Babbitt (1922), Il dottor Arrowsmith (1925), Dodsworth (1929) e Sangue reale (1947). Morì a Roma nel 1951.

BabbittWhat Did This Man Want?. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Sinclair Lewis - Diamond Book Publishing, 2019 -
Businessman George F. Babbitt loves the latest appliances, making money and the Republican party. In fact, he loves being a Solid Citizen even more than he loves his wife. But Babbitt comes to resent the middle class trappings he has worked so hard to acquire. Realising that his life is devoid of meaning, he grows determined to transcend his trivial existence and search for a greater purpose. In the economic boom years of 1920s' America, Babbitt became a symbol of middle-class mediocrity, and his name an enduring part of the American lexicon.
