Romancier, nouvelliste et dramaturge américain né le 7 février 1885 à Sauk Center (Minnesota, Etats-Unis), mort à Rome (Italie) le 10 janvier 1951. Auteur de "Babbitt" (1922) et "Elmer Gantry" (1927). Prix Nobel de littérature 1930.
Babbittis a scathing critique of early 20th-century American society, written by Sinclair Lewis. The novel portrays the life of George F. Babbitt, a middle-class real estate agent in the fictional city of Zenith. Through this character, Lewis delivers a satire on conformity, materialism, and the moral emptiness of American culture during that era.
Babbitt is a man trapped in a predictable and superficial routine, forced to confront his own dissatisfaction and the social pressures that surround him. The work exposes the hypocrisy of the American Dream, showing how social expectations crush individuality and promote a life focused on material success, leaving no room for authenticity or personal growth.
Since its publication, Babbitt has been praised for its sharp social observation and its critiques of consumerism and cultural uniformity. The novel not only reflects the issues of its time but also remains relevant in today's discussions on identity, conformity, and the struggles of individuals against societal norms.
