Description: BABBITTby Sinclair Lewis Copyright 1950 First Edition Library Facsimile of First Edition With Slipcase and Dust JacketNew, MINT CONDITION Babbitt is a satirical novel that critiques the vacuity of middle class life and the social pressure toward conformity. The novel's protagonist, George F. Babbitt, is a prosperous partner at a real-estate firm in the fictitious town of Zenith. Babbitt becomes unhappy with the ritualized and highly conformist life that he is leading and attempts to make it more gratifying. The novel's scathing indictment of middle-class American values made Babbittry a synonym for adherence to a conformist, materialistic, anti-intellectual way of life. I am helping liquidate an estate for a friend. Her husband was an avid collector of books. I have hundreds to list, many rare and hard to find books. Please check back often as I will be listing new ones every day. Feel free to ask if you are looking for anything in particular. I will be listing many Folio Society books as well as the entire collection from the 100 Greatest Books ever written by Easton Press and many First Edition Facsimiles from The First Edition Library.
