First published in 1922, "Babbitt" is Sinclair Lewis' satire of American culture in the early part of the 20th century. In the years following World War I Americans began to idealize the middle-class lifestyle as a symbol of success, one crucial to the American identity. The successful self-made family man living in a Midwestern town began to symbolize the "American Dream". The titular character of this novel, George F. Babbitt, is one such man. Babbitt is a successful middle-aged partner in a real estate firm who is married with three kids living in the fictional Midwestern town of Zenith. While having achieved the "American Dream" Babbitt gradually begins to feel a lack of fulfillment with how his life has turned out. He is a man unaware of the contemporary social and economic conditions that exist outside his own small circle. This lack of awareness begins to become increasingly apparent to him and a feeling of consternation sets in. Controversial upon its first publication for its criticism of what many Americans believed to be the ideal life, "Babbitt" is at once the tale of a middle-life crisis and a satirical critique of the vacuity of middle-class American life. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Hugh Walpole.

George Babbitt is a forty-six-year-old real estate broker. His job allows him to enjoy many commodities of the middle-class, and offers he and his family a place in an elevated social circle. With three kids, a loving wife, a steady job, and a fair amount of disposable income, George is living the American dream. But despite his privilege, he is dissatisfied with his life, a topic that often arises when he spends time with his closest friend, Paul, who has serious martial issues. One day, they decide to take a vacation together, leaving their family for a relaxing camping trip. Even through ups and downs, the two men feel at ease among the country, appreciating the simultaneous and contrasting simplicity and intricacy that exists in nature. Together, George and Paul decide that even though their lives weren't perfect, they would do their best to appreciate what they had. After this, both men return home feeling much more optimistic about their lives. However, things take a turn for the worst after one of them does not honor to their pack. When Paul commits a heinous crime that will imprison him for many years, George is distraught. Feeling that his mundane life will be unbearable without Paul's company, George decides to abandon the rules that held him back before. As George ditches his social circle and begins to cheat on his wife, he falls into the habit of chasing his every whim, leading him to chaos.
