Sinopsis

'Being a man given to oratory and high principles, he enjoyed the sound of his own vocabulary and the warmth of his own virtue.'-Sinclair Lewis, BabbittIn the novel Babbitt (1922), Sinclair Lewis created a sardonic portrait of a typical American businessman, striving to conform to the standards of the American culture of the time. Its 'hero' is a real estate salesman who, having striven to become a solid citizen in middle America, gradually becomes aware how shallow his ideals are. After the book?s publication, the term 'Babbitt' became a popular reference to describe people who are social conformists.
