"Babbitt: Tarina amerikkalaisesta miehestä, hänen perheestään ja ainoasta…" by Sinclair Lewis is a satirical novel published in 1922. It follows George F. Babbitt, a successful middle-aged real estate broker who seemingly has everything the American Dream promises. Yet beneath his conformist exterior lies growing dissatisfaction with his shallow existence. When his best friend's life unravels, Babbitt attempts his own rebellion against middle-class conventions—flirting with liberal politics, bohemian friends, and extramarital romance. But can he truly escape the society he's built his life around?
