<div>Sinclair Lewis&rsquo;s Nobel Prize&ndash;winning satire of the American middle class Zenith is like many American cities in the wake of the First World War: midsize, industrial, booming with opportunities for enterprising capitalists. But Zenith is unique as a middling metropolis; within its wandering streets walks one George Babbitt, world-class realtor, American dreamer, social climber, and civic booster. But unexpectedly, dark clouds appear on Babbitt&rsquo;s horizon: his best friend, a convicted murderer? His eldest daughter, a wretched socialist? Coddled by the trappings of his professional and personal success, how can Babbitt become stricken with loneliness, dissatisfaction, and frustration? First published in 1922, Lewis Sinclair&rsquo;s contentious bestselling satire of middle-class America is more relevant than ever. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices. </div>

But Una, who would be happy to find a husband, discovers that her success may stand in the way of that dream . . . One of the earliest works by the author of twentieth-century classics including Main Street, Babbitt, Arrowsmith, and Elmer Gantry, this involving, psychologically astute novel still strikes a chord more than a century after its original publication.</div>

Wesson Woodbury, invites him along on a canoeing and fishing trip in Saskatchewan, Prescott gladly accepts. However, nothing about the excursion is relaxing.
