Babbitt
"Babbitt" by Sinclair Lewis is a satirical novel published in 1922. It follows George F. Babbitt, a middle-aged real estate broker who appears to embody the American Dream—success, conformity, and middle-class respectability. Yet beneath his comfortable existence lies growing dissatisfaction. When his best friend's life unravels, Babbitt begins questioning everything he once valued, launching into rebellion against social conventions. His journey explores the emptiness of conformity and the cost of living according to others' expectations in 1920s America.
