Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 60
With his breathtaking social insight and his graceful sentences, Sinclair Lewis—a Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winner—stands out as one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. At turns lyrically soul-searching and scathing in its honesty, Babbitt captures the essence of the 1920s while remaining a timeless piece of literature. Babbitt, the ultimate conformist and social climber, seeks power in his community and self-esteem from others. Outwardly, he is the ultimate “big booster,” and he toes the company line with “zip and zowie.”

A wealth of Americana

While F Scott Fitzgerald wrote about people with money, Babbit by Sinclair Lewis is about ordinary Americans - it is full of satire and humanity. It leaves me wondering if Sinclair Lewis was cancelled by past generations for the constant satire of Americans, for holding up a mirror to the typical reader, or because Americans think the America of Babbit is extinct.

someone who doesn’t mind low quality recordings

What didn’t you like about N.N.’s performance?
it sounded like a ‘kitchen-table’ home recording, which the producers tried to cover up by continuously playing distracting music in the background
What character would you cut from Il principe e il povero?
none
Any additional comments?
main distraction is that music plays continuously while reader reads
