This early work by Sinclair Lewis was originally published in 1917 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Sinclair Lewis was born in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, USA in 1885. A lonely and socially awkward child, Lewis tried unsuccessfully to run away from home, before entering Yale University in 1903. It was here that, in the Yale Courant and the Yale Literary Magazine, Lewis had his first works - mostly romantic poetry and short sketches - published. In 1920, while living in Washington D.C., Lewis had his first major success with the novel Main Street. Selling around two million copies within a few years, it catapulted Lewis into fame and riches, and he followed it with the critically acclaimed Babbitt (1922), and Arrowsmith (1925) - for which he received, but refused, the Pulitzer Prize.

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.
