Published in 1922, Babbitt became an instant classic.
The novel follows George Babbitt, a successful realtor, as he grows more and more dissatisfied with the American Dream.
Babbitt loves the latest appliances, brand names, and the Republican Party. In fact, he loves being a solid citizen even more than he loves his wife. But Babbitt comes to resent the middle-class trappings he has worked so hard to acquire. Realizing that his life is devoid of meaning, he grows determined to transcend his trivial existence and search for greater purpose.
A biting satire of American business, Babbitt has become an important piece of American literature, chronicling the unrest of the growing 1920's middle class, the ushering in of the age of consumerism, and the pressures of the individual to conform.
