Main Street - by Sinclair Lewis (Paperback)

Main Street by Sinclair Lewis is a thought-provoking novel that shatters the myth of the American Middle West as God's Country, revealing the cultural narrow-mindedness and smug complacency of small towns everywhere.

The book follows Carol Kennicott, a wife of a town doctor, who dreams of initiating social reforms and introducing art and literature to the community.

With a range of reactions when it was published in 1920, reflecting the ambivalence in the novel itself and Lewis's own mixed feelings about his hometown of Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Main Street has been recognized as a classic of American literature.

As a Penguin Classic, this book represents the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines, with authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
