Opis i karakteristike
Ovo izdanje je na engleskom jeziku.
The first of Sinclair Lewis’s great successes, Main Street shattered the sentimental American myth of happy smalltown life with its satire of narrowminded 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 smalltown 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 smalltown America make Main Street a complex and compelling work and established Lewis as an important figure in twentiethcentury American literature.
