At once a conformist and a rebel  George F. Babbitt represents an ordinary man whose life turns upside down during one of the most profound sea changes in American cultural history: the mechanization and hucksterism of the Roaring Twenties. Babbitt  his family  and his social circle are the very essence of the American Dream in all its glory and emptiness  and their story is a stirring portrait of a way of life in profound flux. Babbitt remains one of Sinclair Lewiss most widely read novels. Contemptible and touching  frivolous and tragic  Babbitt is a rich  complex character whose legacy carries an eerie resonance to this day.
