More about the book

The narrative centers on George Follansbee Babbitt, an unremarkable middle-aged realtor in Zenith, who grapples with his mundane existence and societal expectations. Despite his attempts to embrace liberal ideas and indulge in an affair, his fear of social ostracism holds him back. In contrast, he supports his son Ted's quest for rebellion. Sinclair Lewis's portrayal of Babbitt captures the essence of conformity within the middle class, coining a term for those who embody such smugness.
