Detalls del llibre
Full of vivid satire -- Robert McCrum ? Observer
Sinclair Lewis's wonderful demolition of the venal and pusillanimous nature of commercial America, Babbitt ? Scotland on Sunday
A satirical masterpiece ? Sunday Times
One of the century's most perceptive writers on working life ? Observer
His view of America was mordant, yet it was also unexpectedly loving; there is a tenderness in all three of these books that catches the reader unawares, and imbues them with a humanity that makes their satire all the more penetrating. ? Washington Post

Sobre l'autor
Sinclair Lewis nació en Saulk Centre, Minnesota, en 1885. Tras graduarse en 1908 por la Universidad de Yale, trabajó como editor y periodista en Nueva York, California y Washington, mientras escribía relatos y novelas populares que se serializaban en revistas. El éxito le llegó con Calle Mayor (1920), una novela que cosechó encendidos elogios de la crítica y causó sensación como retrato satírico de las pujantes clases medias. Durante el decenio siguiente, escribió otras cuatro novelas que lo situaron entre los escritores más importantes de su generación: Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, que rechazó), Elmer Gantry (1927) y Dodsworth (1929). En 1930, se convirtió en el primer estadounidense en recibir el Premio Nobel de Literatura, otorgado «por su vigorosa y plástica facultad descriptiva y por su capacidad para construir, con ingenio y humor, nuevos tipos de personajes». Durante el resto de su vida, Lewis continuó publicando novelas, incluida la mordaz Eso no puede pasar aquí (1935), que imaginaba la llegada de un dictador fascista a la Casa Blanca. Con todo, nunca volvió a alcanzar la calidad literaria que había exhibido en la década de 1920. Murió en Roma en 1951.
