Na obra BABBITT, o escritor americano, Sinclair Lewis, com uso de muita ironia, faz um relato da classe média norte-americana nos anos 20, com seus vícios, desejos, ambições e angústias. O personagem central e que dá nome ao livro, George F. Babbitt, é um corretor imobiliário americano que, assim como seus amigos, representa classe média de mentalidade conservadora e convencional numa busca obsessiva pela ascenção social a qualquer preço. O autor teve tamanho sucesso com a sua provocante obra, que a palavra \"Babbitt\" passou a ser utilizada para representar uma pessoa provinciana, de mente estreita e interessada majoritariamente em negócios, dinheiro e posição social. Publicado em 1922, Babbitt é um livro atemporal e, além do prazer da leitura, proporciona uma reflexão sobre a vida que ainda levamos. Não é sem razão que Babbitt faz parte da famosa coletânea \"1001 livros para ler antes de Morrer\" e rendeu a Sinclair Lewis o Prêmio Nobel de Literatura, em 1930.

Banquet Speech (Acceptance Nobel Prize) & Biographical notes includedIn 1930, Lewis won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first writer from the United States to receive the award, after he had been nominated by Henrik Sch�ck, member of the Swedish Academy. In the Academy''s presentation speech, special attention was paid to Babbitt. In his Nobel Lecture, Lewis praised Theodore Dreiser, Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, and other contemporaries, but also lamented that "in America most of us--not readers alone, but even writers--are still afraid of any literature which is not a glorification of everything American, a glorification of our faults as well as our virtues," and that America is "the most contradictory, the most depressing, the most stirring, of any land in the world today." He also offered a profound criticism of the American literary establishment: "Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead."It Can''t Happen Here is a semi-satirical 1935 political novel by American author Sinclair Lewis, and a 1936 play adapted from the novel by Lewis and John C. Moffitt.Published during the rise of fascism in Europe, the novel describes the rise of Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, a politician who defeats Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) and is elected President of the United States, after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and "traditional" values. After his election, Windrip takes complete control of the government and imposes a plutocratic/totalitarian rule with the help of a ruthless paramilitary force, in the manner of Adolf Hitler and the SS. The novel''s plot centers on journalist Doremus Jessup''s opposition to the new regime and his subsequent struggle against it as part of a liberal rebellion.

A fun glimpse at Prohibition era America, Lewis was spot on in many of his characterizations and was an astute observer of human nature.

In this sardonic portrait of the up-and-coming middle class during the prosperous 1920s, Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) perfectly captures the sound, the feel, and the attitudes of the generation that created the cult of consumerism. With a sharp eye for detail and keen powers of observation, Lewis tracks successful realtor George Babbitt''s daily struggles to rise to the top of his profession while maintaining his reputation as an upstanding family man.On the surface, Babbitt appears to be the quintessential middle-class embodiment of conservative values and enthusiasm for the well-to-do lifestyle of the small entrepreneur. But beneath the complacent facade, he also experiences a rising, nameless discontent. These feelings eventually lead Babbitt into risky escapades that threaten his family and his standing in the community.

SINOPSIS Esta novela, considerada una de las obras maestras de la narrativa norteamericana del siglo XX, recibió en 1926 el premio Pulitzer. Como hijo y nieto de médicos, Sinclair Lewis tenía gran cantidad de conocimientos sobre el mundo de la medicina. El libro recorre la vida de Martin Arrowsmith, un tipo bastante común que entra en contacto con la medicina a los catorce años como asistente del médico en su ciudad natal. Lewis narra de manera brillante el mundo de la investigación, y de las compañías farmacéuticas, así como las modestas ambiciones de muchos hombres y mujeres que tienen una gran vocación. Describe magistralmente muchos aspectos del mundo de la medicina, desde la formación hasta las consideraciones éticas, y nos muestra, con un tono satírico, las envidias, presiones y negligencias que a veces van asociadas a ese mundo. Esta novela, considerada como el antecedente de las numerosas teleseries que tienen a la medicina y a los médicos como tema central, ha tenido numerosas adaptaciones radiofónicas (una de ellas con Orson Welles como protagonista) y cinematográficas, entre las que destaca la que realizó John Ford en 1931. CRÍTICA “Esta novela, considerada una de las obras maestras de la narrativa norteamericana del siglo XX, recibió en 1926 el premio Pulitzer.” El Mundo, El Cultural "Se recupera en castellano "Doctor Arrowsmith", novela pionera en tratar las entrañas del mundo de la medicina" Público “Uno de los grandes ejemplos de esa literatura es la novela que el estadounidense Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) publicó en 1925 y por la que el año siguiente recibió el Premio Pulitzer: Doctor Arrowsmith. La historia que narra es la de Martin Arrowsmith, natural de Elks Milks, "una población desangelada de edificios de ladrillo que olía a manzanas" en el ficticio Estado estadounidense, mitad Este, mitad Medio Oeste, de Winnemac, que también aparece en otras obras suyas".” Babaelia “El bisabuelo del Dr. House” Público "La novela versa sobre la vida profesional del médico Martin Arrowsmith desde el despertar de su vocación como ayudante del médico de su pequeña ciudad natal, pasando por sus años en la facultad de medicina, hasta el desarrollo de su carrera". La novela le valió al autor el premio Pulitzer en 1926. Solodelibros “Dicen que esta novela es una de las obras maestra de la narrativa norteamericana del siglo XX, y de hecho ya en 1926 recibió el premio Pulitzer” Blog Libros y Literatura «Artísticamente, Doctor Arrowsmith es un auténtico paso adelante. La novela está llena de pasajes inolvidables y la habilidad de Lewis para presentar personajes a través de los diálogos nunca falla» The New York Times Book Review
