Beschreibung

The short stories collected here reveal a cross-section of American life through sharply drawn characters, biting social observation, and understated emotional tension. Spanning decades and social classes, these works examine the hidden discontent of the middle class, the rigidity of small-town morality, and the often disillusioning gap between aspiration and reality. With ironic humor and a clear-eyed realism, these stories capture the spirit-and contradictions-of early 20th-century America.
Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. In 1930, he became the first American writer to received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Best known for his novels, including Babbitt, Main Street, Dodsworth, and Elmer Gantry, this collection of his short stories is gathered from The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, and other popular magazines.

Über den Autor

Sinclair Lewis was an American novelist, playwright, and social critic whose fiction made him one of the sharpest satirists of twentieth-century American life. Born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, in 1885, Lewis became known for exposing the hypocrisies, anxieties, ambitions, and conformist pressures of middle-class America. His major novels include Main Street, Babbitt, Arrowsmith, Elmer Gantry, Dodsworth, and It Can't Happen [...] was the first American writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded in 1930. His fiction is marked by restless energy, social observation, comic attack, and a willingness to puncture American myths about business, religion, small-town virtue, success, and respectability. In Babbitt, he created one of his most enduring figures: a man so perfectly adapted to his culture that his own discontent becomes an indictment of that culture. Lewis remains essential reading for anyone interested in American satire, literary realism, the 1920s, business culture, and the uneasy promises of the American dream.
