Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babbitt_(novel) Sirkku-Liisa Häyhä-Karmakainen and Tapio Riikonen "Babbitt: Tarina amerikkalaisesta miehestä, hänen perheestään ja ainoasta…" by Sinclair Lewis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around George F. Babbitt, a middle-aged real estate salesman, who navigates the complexities of American life, family dynamics, and personal discontent in the bustling, modern city of Zenith. The opening of the novel introduces us to the city of Zenith with its striking skyscrapers and busy streets, contrasting it with George F. Babbitt's unremarkable domestic existence. As he wakes up in his home, we see his mundane morning routine and his complex feelings towards life, highlighted by a vivid daydream of youthful romance, known in the narrative as "Taruntytti." His interactions with family reveal a mixture of irritation and affection, and it's clear that his life is filled with societal expectations and personal contradictions. As he prepares to confront another day at work, Babbitt embodies the struggles of modernity and the search for significance in a consumer-driven environment.
