Krátky popis
The first of Sinclair Lewis s great successes, Main Street
shattered the sentimental American myth of happy small-town life
with its satire of narrow-minded provincialism. Reflecting his own
unhappy childhood in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Lewis s sixth novel
attacked the conformity and dullness he saw in midwestern village
life. Young college graduate Carol Milford moves from the city to
tiny Gopher Prairie after marrying the local doctor, and tries to
bring culture to the small town. But her efforts to reform the
prairie village are met by a wall of gossip, greed,
conventionality, pitifully unambitious cultural endeavors, and
worst of all the pettiness and bigotry of small-town minds. Lewis s
portrayal of a marriage torn by disillusionment and a woman forced
into compromises is at once devastating social satire and
persuasive realism. His subtle characterizations and intimate
details of small-town America make Main Street a complex and
compelling work and established Lewis as an important figure in
twentieth-century American literature.",
