Main Street is a satirical novel written by Sinclair Lewis, and published in 1920. The story is set in the small town of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, a fictionalized version of Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Lewis's hometown. The novel takes place in the 1910s, with references to the start of World War I, the United States' entry into the war, and the years following the end of the war, including the start of Prohibition. Satirizing small town life, Main Street is perhaps Sinclair Lewis's most famous book, and led in part to his eventual 1930 Nobel Prize for Literature. It relates the life and struggles of Carol Milford Kennicott as she comes into conflict with the small-town mentality of the residents of Gopher Prairie. Highly acclaimed upon publication, Main Street remains a recognized American classic.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sinclair Lewis

PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 1930

Romancista e crítico norte-americano, nascido a 7 de fevereiro de 1885, no Minnesota, e falecido 10 de janeiro de 1951, em Roma. Em 1902 foi estudar na Oberlin Academy mas acabou por se mudar para a Universidade de Yale, onde se formou em 1908. Entretanto participou na Yale Literary Magazine. Após os estudos trabalhou em publicidade, não deixando, no entanto, de se dedicar à escrita, atividade a que mais tarde se veio a dedicar a tempo inteiro. Foi o primeiro escritor do seu país a ser galardoado com um Prémio Nobel, em 1930. O prémio consagrava uma obra literária representativa da vida americana. Main Street (A Rua Principal, 1920) Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927) e Dodsworth (1929) são as obras de maior destaque.
